A Royal Village through the Centuries


Havering Council's latest Heritage walk will take place on Saturday, the 14th July 2007 around Havering-atte-Bower (Havering Village). Havering-atte-Bower has a long and very rich history and it was once the home to a royal palace.
The palace had a continuous use as a royal residence from the 12th century to the time of Charles I. There are also many other interesting things to see and stories to hear about the Village.

Local historian Brian Evans will again be leading this walk, which starts at 10.00am on the Village Green and will finish at the Royal Oak Public House at approx 12.30.

Havering-atte-Bower is a wonderful place, often forgotten by people, that it belongs to my ward "Havering Park", two, it is part of Romford and three, that it is still in the London Borough of Havering, something the Mayor of London often forgets.
