About Fencing in West Wickham
West Wickham in Kent sits on the edge of Greater London, and its parish church of St John the Baptist dates largely from the 15th century, built by Sir Henry Heydon whose family also constructed the now vanished West Wickham Hall nearby. The surrounding area retains a surprising amount of woodland for somewhere so close to the capital, including West Wickham Common, once part of a much larger tract of ancient woodland that stretched across this part of the North Downs fringe. The town grew steadily as a residential suburb through the 19th and 20th centuries following the arrival of the railway.
