Latimer Close, WORCESTER PARK, KT4 8UF

These bungalows and detached houses are typical of the 1930's houses that blanket cover much of this area of south London.

The name Cuddington almost vanished from the map when the medieval village, parish church and manor house were ruthlessly destroyed in 1538 to provide the site for Henry VIIIth to build his palace and home park at Nonsuch. The parish, which covers the area between Ewell and Cheam, including Nonsuch Park is still called Cuddington. Cuddington Recreation Ground was once the fields and woods of Sparrow Farm, which still occupied the area early in the 20th century. The farmstead was situated towards the south-east end of the present-day park. Sparrow farm Road to the south of the park commemorates the name. This old oak tree, like some of the others, is probably a survivor from Avenue Wood, which is marked on maps from the early 20th century in the area to the north of the farm. The infant Beverley Brook can be found within the trees on the left. The Wembley Arch is also visible from here.

Surprisingly the view north from here seems to include the Wembley Arch, unless a facsimile has been built further south.
