A little about Eltham

Eltham developed along part of the road from London to Maidstone, and lies 3 miles south of Woolwich. Mottingham, to the south, became part of the parish on the abolition of all extra-parochial areas, which were rare anomalies in the parish system. Eltham College and other parts of Mottingham were therefore not considered within Eltham's boundaries even before the 1860s.

From the sixth century Eltham was in the ancient Lathe of Sutton at Hone. In the Domesday Book of 1086 its hundred was named Greenwich, which by 1166 was renamed Blachehedfeld, soon to be referred to as Blackheath, because it had become the location of the annual or more frequent hundred gathering.

Eltham lies in the hundred of Blackheath, eight miles from London, on the road to Maidstone. Eltham contains about 2,880 acres of which about 360 are woodland, with about three fifths of the cultivated land being arable. Eltham used to have a market on Tuesdays, and two fairs; one at the festival of the Holy Trinity, and the other at that of St. Peter and St. Paul; both of which have been long discontinued.

By the 1880s the lathes and hundreds of Kent had become obsolete, with the civil parishes and other districts assuming modern governmental functions.

Eltham was a civil parish of Kent until 1889 when it became part of the County of London and from 1900 formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich. The metropolitan borough was abolished in 1965 and Eltham then became part of the then London Borough of Greenwich.

Eltham today is one of the largest suburban developments in the borough with a population of almost 88,000 people.

Eltham is devoid of any major water features, although the River Thames is only about one mile away from Eltham's northern limits. The most prominent body of water is the River Quaggy which runs to the south-west of Eltham and joins the River Ravensbourne at Lewisham. The Quaggy receives additional water from a tributary named Little Quaggy, flowing from the lake of The Tarn in Mottingham, and feeds the wetlands in Sutcliffe Park. The only other significant watercourse is the River Shuttle, which rises in Avery Hill Park and flows east to join the River Cray.

Eltham makes the news

In 1990, an IRA bomb outside the Eltham Palace headquarters of the Royal Army Educational Corps injured seven people. Eltham was targeted three times by the Mardi Gra bomber in the 1990s, causing great concern for the security services, police and local population alike.

Eltham location proves its military worth

Eltham lies on a high, sandy plateau which gave it a strategic military significance. That, and the fact of its position close to the main route to the English Channel ports in Kent, led to the creation of the moated Plantagenet Eltham Palace, still its most notable landmark.

The Kings of England had a palace at Eltham at a very early period. Henry the Third kept a public Christmas at his palace of Eltham, accompanied by the Queen, and all the great men of the realm.

Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, and Patriarch of Jerusalem, spent a great deal of money on the buildings here, and died there on the 28th of March 1311.

The nearby manor of Well Hall was home to Sir John Pulteney, four times Lord Mayor of the City of London, and later to wealthy Catholic William Roper and his wife Margaret, who was the daughter of Sir Thomas More, known to Catholics as Saint Thomas More, Chancellor to King Henry VIII. In 1733 Sir Gregory Page bought this estate for £19,000 and demolished Roper House, building Page House, later known as Well Hall House on the site. Until its demolition in 1931, Well Hall House variously served as a home to watchmaker John Arnold, and later to socialist Hubert Bland and author Edith Nesbit.

Also of note are Avery Hill Park and its former mansion, accessed from Bexley Road and at various points along the three miles of other streets that surround the park. A hothouse is still open to the public and contains temperate and tropical plants. There are also remnants of the formal gardens in the public park. Today the mansion is part of the University of Greenwich, which has been a significant presence on two sites in the area. However, in 2014 the University announced its intentions to withdraw from the site.
