A short history of DA7
Bexleyheath was mostly open heath for much of its past and the Romans took Watling Street across it on the route between London and Dover. By the early 19th century it was rough pasture and scrub with few buildings. Sir John Boyd had Danson House built in 1766 and most of the remaining heath was enclosed in 1814. Christ Church dates from 1841. In 1859 Philip Webb designed Red House in Upton for William Morris, who sold it in 1865. It is Grade I listed. The present church was finished in 1877. Land sold in 1881 for the Bexleyheath loop line led to Barnehurst, named from its station after Colonel Barne of May Place House. The clock tower dates from 1912 and the Barnehurst Estate from 1926. Both areas joined Greater London in 1965. Six listed buildings stand nearby, all Grade II.
