What became the Manor of East Greenwich has a very interesting history in relation to its ownership by the Crown and later to charitable bodies. This includes its later use as a legal entity, which could be used by those living outside England who needed to be a tenant of a manor in order to complete some legal process. It could almost be said that ’everyone in America is a tenant of the Manor of East Greenwich’. There are books and websites which will explain this manoeuvre clearly and precisely - while anything I say is a gross simplification.
One of the most important functions of local government is to look after those people who are unable to care for themselves – what we would describe as social services. Traditionally much of such work was administered by various religious organisations but I don’t know how regularised this was. Henry VIII’S dissolution of the monasteries must have caused many crises. The City of London was able to purchase Bart’s and Bethlehem Hospitals from the Crown – but not every area could raise money like the City.
What emerged from this situation was the Elizabethan Poor Law and this again is a much more complicated set of legislation than it first appears. It sets up what we now would understand as the system of administrative responsibility for those unable to care for themselves. We go on and on about Queen Elizabeth, Gloriana and the Armada and all that but this body of legislation set up a solid framework based on the parishes. Over the past 400 years it has changed as ideas on social care have changed, but the basis of local care for those in need remains. So by the early 17th century things were looking a lot more like local government today and bodies gradually had to employ officers who could go round and sort out the various problems and were very much taking on a role that we would expect local government officers to deal with now.
The parishes then were St Alfege for Greenwich east of the Creek, and St Nicholas west of the Creek to the Surrey border. St Paul’s Deptford, which now takes up a part of what was once St Nicholas, but is now in Surrey, was a new parish formed in 1730.

importance to us here in Greenwich is the legislation around the management of marshlands. Clearly most local marsh had been embanked and sea walls built at a time when few records were kept. Throughout the Middle Ages governments appointed bodies of local worthies as Commissioners who would keep an eye on the Marshlands and order work as necessary. There is a formula for management based on that for Romney Marsh - where the great Dymchurch Wall has employed maintenance staff since the Middle Ages. In the 1620s a body was set up to manage Greenwich Peninsula consisting of land owners in a sort of committee who met on a regular basis at the Old Green Man pub on Blackheath.
I think this might be a good place to stop and carry on in a future episode as administration begins to take on a form which we would recognise where they’re setting up of various local boards. And of course there will be some buildings we can look at. This has just been about Greenwich and as I said Woolwich has a rather different history but rather later and all the local areas have their own stories which I can come to in due course.
n SHIPBUILDING IN GREENWICH – A shortish run through those who built ships in our borough and what they built on. It covers two Royal Dockyards, to those who built single sailing barges, and those who built into the 1990s. £10
n THE GREENWICH RIVERSIDE – UPPER WATERGATE TO ANGERSTEIN. A siteby-site description of the Greenwich Riverside between Deptford to Charlton. This is not yet another description of Royal Greenwich but looks at riverside communities, industries and river workers – as well less known site histories. £15
n THE INDUSTRIES OF DEPTFORD CREEK. A siteby-site description of this amazingly busy Creekside between its mouth with the Thames and the Lewisham border. It includes industries of national importance, from the medieval to electronics pioneers - and the downright quirky. £15
n GREENWICH PENINSULA - GREENWICH MARSH. A HISTORY OF AN INDUSTRIAL HEARTLAND. This is a rewrite of my all-time bestseller Greenwich Marsh, to include the Dome. It describes the history of the Marsh and the industries which grew up there in the 19th century, including Enderby Wharf and the telecommunications revolution, as well as the amazing gas works and much else. £10

PROPOSED RECONSTRUCTION OF ROAD HUMPS (KNOWN AS “SPEED TABLES” OR “RAISED ENTRY TREATMENTS”) IN MIDDLE PARK AVENUE AND PROPOSED ZEBRA PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN MIDDLE PARK AVENUE

The speed table would be an elevated section of the carriageway, between 75 and 100 millimetres higher than the surrounding carriageway, extending across the full width of the carriageway, including areas used by cyclists, so that the flat top of the speed table or raised entry treatment and the adjoining footways form a continuous surface.
