Removals around Ladywell — home to a church community founded over 1,100 years ago, and the medicinal well that gave the area its name.
St Mary's Church, Ladywell, traces its community back to 918 AD, when monks from an abbey in Ghent set up the first Christian worshipping community in Lewisham — the base of its tower is medieval, and there's still a well in the crypt. Nearby, a separate "our lady's well" — first recorded in 1472 and reputed to cure eye complaints — gave the whole area its name, sitting between the church and the River Ravensbourne, which still runs along the churchyard's western edge into Ladywell Fields today.
That river is the area's defining physical feature for moving purposes as much as its history: Ladywell Fields follows the Ravensbourne in a long strip of parkland, splitting the area roughly in two, so which side of the park your address falls on can affect the practical route a van takes. Housing is predominantly Victorian terraces, with Ladywell station providing a direct line toward central London, and the area sits conveniently between Lewisham town centre and Brockley — a common route for local moves in either direction.
Until the 19th century, St Mary's churchyard was the only burial ground for the entire ancient Parish of Lewisham — an area that stretched to cover Catford, Brockley, Hither Green and Sydenham as well. Ladywell's more recent Victorian cemetery — now the Brockley and Ladywell Cemeteries nature reserve — sits further south, on the boundary with Brockley and Crofton Park.
