New Booklet on Roehampton Village
Putney author shows the development from ancient settlement to 2016
Although Roehampton village looks at first glance
like a typical ancient settlement, its story is in fact
a series of upheavals, spanning just 400 years,
which transformed a row of cottages on former
common land into what we see today. Each upheaval
has left traces in the present landscape.
Roehampton Village, by Dorian Gerhold,
explains the village’s
development using numerous
views and
maps. The booklet (40
pages, 45 illustrations)
is available for £5
plus £1.50 postage and
packing (cheques payable
to Wandsworth Historical
Society) from
Dorian Gerhold, 19
Montserrat Road, Putney,
SW15 2LD.
