Lewisham Park originally formed part of the great
"Southfield" of the Manor. The earliest mention of the field is in a grant about the year
1260, by one William le Plummer, of Leuesham.
Under
the name of Lewisham Park it was laid out for for building about 1840,
the houses being well set back from the high road, and the whole centre
of the field left an open space, with houses built on the outer circle.
