Description
Dulwich Village is a collegiate village, which has remained distinct and more exclusive than its surrounding neighbourhoods. This is almost entirely due to the role of Dulwich College, founded in 1619 by the actor Edward Alleyn as the College of God’s Gift, which consisted of alms houses and a school for underprivileged boys.
From the mid-1760s, the college allowed wealthy Londoners – often the parents of pupils – to build substantial houses that would maintain their value, and that of the estate. A number of these properties remain – which you will pass on this walk, as well as numerous pretty cottages.
You’ll also see and learn about…
- Belair House, built in 1765 for a Whitechapel corn merchant
- The original College of God’s Gift, founded by the most successful Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn - he was also Joint Master of the Royal Bears, Bulls and Mastiff Dogs, a post which made him an extremely wealthy man
- St Barnabas Church and its burial ground dating back to 1616 - final resting place of plague victims, the Queen of the Norwood Gypsies and the Dulwich hermit who was murdered in 1802
- The magnificent buildings of Dulwich College - designed by Charles Barry Jnr and completed in 1869
- The last - and still operating - tollgate in London.
- Sir John Soane’s Dulwich Picture Gallery, the oldest in London
- Dulwich Park - formed in 1890 from the fields of Dulwich Court Farm
- The Old Grammar School which was set up by the College in 1842 and designed by Sir Charles Barry (Houses of Parliament)
- and much more
