About Fencing in Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire has evidence of activity stretching back to the Palaeolithic period, with several early handaxes found in the area, and Roman pottery kilns dating to the 2nd century AD have been excavated nearby at Hedgerley. The area developed slowly through the medieval period, with a watermill recorded at Oakend and 14th century tile works also uncovered locally, before the town's character shifted dramatically from the 1790s, when genteel houses began attracting wealthy visitors and Gerrards Cross earned the nickname the Brighton of Bucks. The real transformation came with the railway's arrival in 1906, which turned the town into a Metroland commuter suburb, with grand Arts and Crafts style houses built as part of a planned garden suburb designed by architects including Stanley Hamp and Robert Muir to attract London's upper middle class.
