Geocache Description:

The cottages were commissioned by Miss Keziah Peache over the period 1867 to 1872. Miss Peache was a major benefactress in Wimbledon Parish and as one of the chief supporters of the Cottage Improvement Society in the 1850’s and 1860’s she built Bertram Cottages and the cottages of Belvedere Square off Church Road and Courthope Villas off Worple Road in Wimbledon for people of limited means. 

 


Bertram Cottages have for many years been known as cottages of unique character and charm on the edge of the busy commercial centre. This special character was recognised by the Merton Council when it declared the Bertram Cottages Conservation Area in February 1984. 

These cottages were designed and built by Henry Charles Forde, architect and engineer. Mr Forde was a leading citizen of Wimbledon, with an international reputation in the field of submarine telecommunications. 

You can and should explore the area of the cottages, you might even see a lovely fox!

Hope you have fun.
