Hatcham

[3][4][5] Hatcham became part of Deptford St Paul when the parish was divided in 1730.

[9] It is described as a manor containing land for three ploughs, nine villagers and two smallholders, 6 acres (24,000 m2) of meadowland and woodland for 3 pigs.

Hatcham formed part of the Brixton Hundred of Surrey in medieval times.

In 1855 it was included in the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in the Greenwich District.

[5] Although the place name has largely fallen out of common parlance, its use is retained by several organisations including the Hatcham Liberal Club on Queen's Road and in the names of Haberdashers' Hatcham College.
