Westerham
is a town for all seasons.
The village of Westerham has evolved for more than 1000 years from
"Domesday and Pilgrims Way, to Motorway", into the town it is today.
Close to London and the M25, Westerham is privileged to be surrounded
by woodlands and open space, and seems to be built on "on a hill in a
valley".
Over the centuries, a variety of talented and famous people have been
drawn to live in Westerham. Their legacy is here for us to enjoy.
Westerham today is a lively town with lots to do, many unusual shops -
and wonderful places to eat and drink.
In September, the town remembered the life of General James
Wolfe, who was born in Westerham in 1727 and the events of the year
1759, 250 years ago, in Quebec, Canada, where he died.

visitors.

life-long friend of Peter Finch, for letting us publish his recent work
on the history of The Tower. Walk for LifeboatsJohn Edwards would like to thank everyone who took
part in the sponsored walk at Denbies Vineyard on 31st January.
