Dulwich has a very interesting history with links to Shakespeare, the Church of England, and prime ministers. The name “Dulwich” comes from Dilwihs (meaning “marshy meadows where dill grows” – this gives a good indication of how Dulwich looked when it was first named. The name was first recorded in 967, a century before the Domesday Book.
Bermondsey Abbey owned the manor of Dulwich from 1127 to 1538. In 1605, the manor was purchased by Edward Alleyn. This name may not mean much to you now, but Edward Alleyn was a very successful Shakespearean actor, appearing in many of the iconic plays that are still acted out in London today.
Edward had a plan for Dulwich and quickly put this plan into action. He founded the College of God’s Gift and provided education for “12 poor scholars” and almshouses for “6 poor brethren and 6 poor sisters”. Basically, Edward created scholarships and a place to learn in Dulwich for poorer people.
This college of Edwards is still alive today, too. It was reconstituted in 1857 (and again in 1882) and now comprises three schools: Alleyn’s School, Dulwich College and James Allen’s Girl’s School.
Like many parts of Greater London, Dulwich has changed a lot since it was first named and recorded. However, the colleges and schools in Dulwich have mostly gone unchanged. This shows that good ideas in London can last forever!
