A short history of E17

Walthamstow appears around 1075 as Wilcumestowe, meaning the place of welcome. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Wilcumestou, a manor held before 1066 by Earl Waltheof and afterwards by his widow Countess Judith, with 36 villeins, 25 bordars and 4 slaves. Their daughter Alice married Ralph de Tosny in 1103 and around 1126 gave the church to the Priors of the Holy Trinity in Aldgate. King John stayed for two nights in February 1208. Sir William Batten kept a house in Wood Street in the 1660s. William Morris was born here in 1834. Largely rural until the late 19th century, the town then grew quickly with the railways. John Kemp Starley produced his modern bicycle design in 1885 and Frederick Bremer built a British motorcar in 1892. A. V. Roe's aircraft flew from Walthamstow Marshes on 13 June 1909. Of 43 listed buildings nearby, six are Grade II* including St Mary's Church and the William Morris Gallery.
