Westerham
Westerham is a community and also civil parish in the Sevenoaks Area of Kent, England, located 5 miles (8 kilometres) west of Sevenoaks. It is recorded as early as the 9th century, and was pointed out in the Domesday Book in a Norman kind, Oistreham (contrast Ouistreham in Normandy, Oistreham in 1086). Ham is Old English for a village or homestead, and so Westerham implies a western homestead. The River Darent streams with the community, as well as previously powered three watermills. Westerham was house to the Black Eagle Brewery, which was taken control of by Taylor Walker & Co in the 1950s, becoming part of Ind Coope in 1959 as well as closing in 1965. Yeast from the brewery was maintained at the National Collection of Yeast Cultures as well as is now used by the existing day Westerham Brewery which was developed in 2004 by Robert Wicks. The brewery produces a range of ales, consisting of Westerham British Bulldog. Westerham was house to Crayford Engineering, a successful cars and truck conversion firm, from 1962 to the 1980s, working from a workshop at Squerryes Mede.
