West Wickham Local Information
West Wickham is located in the London Borough of Bromley and dates
back to 1068. By the time the Domesday Book was written the population
was recorded as being about 110. After the Black Death in 1377 it
dropped to 101 but by 1410 it had risen to 480.
In 1469 Henry Heydon rebuilt the manor house and parish church.
In 1580 the last of the Heydons sold to John Lennard whose family
and friends were to live at the house until almost 1930. Sadly,
the last in the Lennard line, Sir Stephen, passed away in Canada
in 1980, leaving no family to carry on the name and title.
In 1801, the population was recorded as 436 and West Wickham became
a place much in favour with the upper classes. The 1920s and 1930s
saw a change as more people moved into the area and the area itself
changed with more houses and wider streets appearing.
Hop in your minibus hire and pop off to see the Chislehurst Caves,
the largest air raid shelter outside London, and previous to that
Saxon, Druid and Roman people occupied the 20-plus miles of underground
caverns and passageways.
Minibus hire is the best way to see London and its home counties,
England and the United Kingdom – just make sure to book your
minibus hire through The Car Hire Company.
