 Westerham
|
|
| Westerham,
the village that became a town, yet despite the commuters it
has preserved its history and atmosphere.
Lots of historic houses, villages and countryside
around here to visit around in this typically Southern England
area.
The town has connections with Churchill and General Wolfe
of Quebec, and their statues are on the green, on the edge
of which stands the church with its 14th century timber spiral
staircase up the tower.
