A short history of KT1
Evidence of Roman occupation exists at Hampton Wick, where a ford crossed the Thames. Kingston is first recorded in 838, when King Egbert of Wessex met Archbishop Ceolnoth there, under the name Cyninges tun, meaning the king's manor or estate. Æthelstan was consecrated there in 925 and Æthelred the Unready in 978. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the place as Chingestune. King John granted the oldest surviving charter in 1208 and a bridge dated to about 1219 replaced the ford. The town was incorporated as a borough in 1441. The Chapel of St Mary, linked to the coronations, collapsed in 1730. Edward Lapidge designed St John's Church in Hampton Wick, built in 1831. Kingston became a municipal borough in 1836 and joined Greater London in 1965. The area has 93 listed buildings, with Grade I status held by the Coronation Stone, Clattern Bridge and the Church of All Saints.
