Known most often as the home of James Wolfe and Winston Churchill, the everyday stories of Westerham are just as powerful. Join us for this pop-up talk where we'll explore what the town was like 100 years ago.

Edmund Dye. Thomas and Harriet Newton. Edward Evenden. Herbert Bird. Edward Newton. Names lost to the past that those of a Victorian Westerham would have known all to well. Join local historian Bill Curtis, as he shares tales of these local notables and gives a flavour of what it was like to live and work in Victorian era Westerham.
