A History of Wickham
Wickham History Society has produced a new edition of Bruce Tappenden’s A History of Wickham, updated with new information since its first publication in 1996, and with a new chapter covering Wickham’s history between 1996 and 2024.
Wickham is a special place, with one of the largest surviving medieval village squares in the country, a traditional horse fair and buildings like Chesapeake Mill. Bruce’s history traces Wickham’s history from its very beginnings to todays’ rapidly growing village, putting it all in the context of national developments at the time. The new edition includes an improved index and local photos, maps and diagrams.
Priced at £9:00 – FREE local delivery or add £4 for postage.
This publication is available to buy at Warwick Lane (upstairs) and Pages, located in Wickham Square, and the Chesapeake Mill, Bridge Street.
