Our archives go back hundreds of years and include information on Lewisham's famous residents and its fine architecture.

We can help if you want to find out about:

  • the history of the borough
  • the history of houses in the borough (when they were built, and who lived there)
  • the history of an area within the borough, for a school project or for general interest
  • your family history (ancestors in Lewisham, or general information)
  • local information on specific topics (for example, famous people who have lived in the borough).

This wiki is a repository for facts, research and information about the heritage of Lewisham.
