WOOLWICH

with the villages of CHARLTON, PLUMSTEAD, SHOOTER’S HILL & neighbourhoods

 

Woolwich is a market town and parish in the hundred of Blackheath and lathe of Sutton-at Hone. 8 miles SE from London – situated on elevated ground, rising gently from the south bank of the Thames, on the Essex border of which is a detached part of the parish. In ancient times this place was called Hulviz and subsequently Woollewic and was originally a petty fishing town so obscure as to be unnoticed by any of the early Kentish historians. It owes its present importance to its situation on the river which in this part nearly three quarters of a mile broad, and of sufficient depth, at the lowest state of the tide, for vessels of the largest class. In the reign of Henry VII ships were first built here, but it does not appear that any regular dock yard was established until the time of Henry VIII; this was enlarged by Elizabeth and in the reign of Charles I the most stupendous ship ever constructed in England was launched from it; the vessel bore the name of the “Sovereign of the Sea”, was 1637 tons burden, and carried one hundred and seventy six guns; it was superbly ornamented with carving and gilding and its appearance combined with its destructive powers, obtained for it from the Dutch the name of the “Golden Devil”. The principal objects of curiosity and interest in Woolwich are the dockyard, royal arsenal, ropeyard, artillery barracks and military repository. The dockyard is nearly a mile in length and environed by a high wall; the number of artificers employed in it and the arsenal, in time of war, is from eight to ten thousand; at present the number is reduced to less than a fourth. The royal arsenal comprises an area of nearly one hundred acres; in this is the foundry, the largest furnace in which will melt about seventeen tons of metal at one time; the laboratory is the place where fireworks and cartridges for use of the army and navy are made up, and carcases, bombs, grenades &c. are charged. The rope yard is a parallelogram about four hundred yards in length, where cable, some of them one hundred and thirty fathoms in length and twenty seven inches in circumference are made for the navy. The artillery barracks are a magnificent range of buildings, and form one of the grandest public structures in the empire, the principal front extending upwards of four hundred yards. Near these barracks are the military hospitals, guardhouse and veterinary hospital; there are also marine barracks and an infirmary for marines. The new military academy, exceeding two hundred and ten yards in length and erected at an expense of more than £150,000 stands on the upper part of Woolwich common; the number of cadets is three hundred. The whole establishment of Woolwich, civil and military is under the immediate superintendence of the master general and board of ordnance. Their majesties William IV and Queen Adelaide honoured this important place with their presence on 22^nd September 1831, to view the launch of the Thunderer man of war, and the opening of the new basin which admits vessels of the highest class. In holiday excursions Woolwich is one of the numerous places round the metropolis to which the Londoner is attracted; on Whit Monday 1839 upwards of two thousand persons subscribed their names in the books at the gate of the royal arsenal and seven thousand in those at the dockyard. The trade of the town is limited to what is requisite for the supply of the inhabitants; and the only manufacture is that of pottery, of which there are extensive works, chiefly for the formation of sugar moulds. Woolwich is within the jurisdiction of the county magistrates, who hold their sittings every Monday and Friday, at one of the principal inns; a petty session for the division is held at the “Green Man” Inn, Blackheath, monthly; and a court of requests, for the recovery of debts not exceeding £5, is holden every Friday at the “Crown & Anchor “ Inn.

 

The parish church dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, a new church (of recent erection), the ordnance chapel (on the road to Plumstead), the chapel in the barracks, a Scotch church, and chapels for Baptists, independents, Wesleyan and Welch Methodists and Roman Catholics, are the places of worship; the benefice of Woolwich is a rectory in the patronage of the Bishop of Rochester. Among the charitable institutions are, a school for instructing thirty poor girls to read and sew, founded and endowed in 1753 by Mrs Ann WITHERS; another school for educating, clothing and apprenticing six poor orphan boys, sons of shipwrights founded and endowed by Mrs Mary WISEMAN; schools upon the national and Lancasterian systems, a British and foreign school, one for infants and an endowed school attached to Enon chapel; there are several bequests for assistance of the indigent and an alms house for five poor widows – the latter founded and endowed by Sir Martin BOWES, a lord mayor of London in 1562. The neighbourhood is embellished with rich woodland scenery, finely diversified by the windings of the noble Thames; and the upper part of the town, towards the Common and the Charlton road is elevated and agreeable. The original market day is Friday; but under the provisions of a local act, markets are also held on Wednesday and Saturday. By the returns at the census of 1831, the parish of Woolwich contained 17,661 inhabitants.

 

Two miles from and in the same hundred as Woolwich is Charlton. Amongst the numerous beautiful seats and villas that adorn the vicinage, Charlton House is particularly distinguished; it is a beautiful structure and displays various ancient decorations. The church, dedicated to St Luke, was rebuilt in 1640; it contains several handsome monuments, antique pieces of armour and banners; the windows are ornamented with armorial bearings in stained glass. A weekly market and three annual fairs were formerly held here, under a grant from Henry III to the monks at Bermondsey; at present there is no market and only one fair, which is held on St Luke’s day and called “Horn Fair”, from the numerous articles of that material brought here for sale. The parish contained in 1831, 2327 inhabitants.

 

One mile east of Woolwich, in the hundred of Lessness, is Plumstead parish and village, pleasantly situated at a short distance from the banks of the river; it contains a neat church dedicated to St Nicholas, and an endowed school; the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of the family of BOWELL. Plumstead by charter possesses the privilege of holding a market and fairs – the right however has not for ages been exercised.

 

Shooter’s Hill in this parish, is chiefly to be noted as the residence of many respectable families, and the summer retreat of many opulent individuals, attracted by the salubrity of the situation and the extensive views which it commands over a wide district of the country. The most striking erection in this neighbourhood is a tower, built on a commanding site, to commemorate the capture of the fortress of Seven Droog in the East Indies, by the British troops under Sir William JAMES. The population of the parish in 1831, was 2745.
