A short history of W3

Finds in Acton show prehistoric settlement, including flint tools from the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods, a Neolithic axe, Bronze Age urns and Iron Age coins. A Roman ditch and hoard were also found. The name comes from Old English words for oak and farm and for several centuries it carried the prefix Church to separate it from the hamlet of East Acton. Landholders lived there by 1222 and East Acton was mentioned in 1294. By 1380 The Tabard and The Cock were inns on the Oxford road. Sir Richard Sutton purchased the East Acton seat later called Manor House in 1610. Acton House was probably rebuilt by Sir Henry Garraway in 1638. Courtiers and lawyers used Acton as a summer retreat during the 17th century. Derwentwater House went up in 1804 and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths built twenty almshouses in 1812. Inhabited houses rose from 241 in 1801 to 426 by 1831. Of 17 listed buildings nearby, The Elms and the Goldsmiths' Almshouses are Grade II*.
