Welcome!

This website records the history of the town of Westerham, Kent in the UK.  Here you can browse through our collection of local historical material, which includes photos, old documents and the memories of local people. Find out more about us or get in touch.

This website was launched by Westerham Society members on February 5th 2018 with over 1000 images and will for some time be work in progress – to date we are about half populated and new stories are being added daily. We thank the team who have been involved to date – well done all, it only took four years from the day when someone suggested it! Our grateful thanks to Peter Finch, John Hooker, Geoff Hoath and all the others who had the foresight to collect documents, postcards and photographs over so many years.

We hope you enjoy your visit and tell your friends about ‘Westerham Heritage’!
