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.
