Aug 27th, 2010

Sitting prosperously and happily between the River Thames and the large open spaces of the Putney Heath, Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common, Putney is a wonderful part of the south-west London property. During Napoleonic wars period there was a telegraph station on top of the hill, which transmitted messages from the Portsmouth to Admiralty in London. At the cricket ground and at the telegraph pub, you could almost be in the heart of the country.

A walk along the riverside passes through the new riverside piazza; the beautiful parks; the starting point for the annual Oxford and Cambridge University boat race, and the quiet corner where the river water laps over the towpath towards the ramshackle row of the boathouses.

It is tough to consider that this rich village was previously the major center of the Putney Debates. These historic hearings were held in St Mary’s, the church in the year 1647. The St Mary’s church is near to Putney Bridge, between the generals and radical levellers from the New Model Army of Cromwell, an occasion now celebrated with the permanent exhibition in the St Mary’s church.
