Westerham, a civil parish and town in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England, nestles comfortably 3.4 miles east of Oxted and 6 miles west of Sevenoaks, adjacent to Kent's border with Greater London and Surrey. Dating back to the 9th century, the town has an extensive history etched in its every corner, with mentions even in the meticulous Domesday Book. Westerham, an Old English name signifying a westerly homestead, is steeped in centuries of fascinating tales, evidenced by the remnants of Celtic and Roman settlements and the grandeur of the 18th-century tower.

Making headlines in the Domesday Book as Oistreham, Westerham's first Norman lord was Eustace II of Boulogne. Over time, the town transformed into a hub for livestock trading after Henry III granted it a market charter in 1227. Visit St Mary's Church, believed to date from the 13th century, and marvel at the royal arms of King Edward VI, the only known depiction of its kind in a church. The vaunted General James Wolfe was born here, with a statue in the town square and a memorial in St Mary's Church standing testament to this illustrious native.
