Brief Local History of New Cross
The area of New Cross used to be known as Hatcham, an ‘Anglo-Saxon name meaning’Hacci’s Village. Another possible meaning is ‘the village in the clearing by the woods’. In the eighteenth century, travellers who wanted to pass through the road were required to pay tolls at the turnpike gates. The particular gate at Hatcham was called New Cross Gate after a local public house named the New Cross Inn which stood nearby. The land was bought in 1614 by the Haberdashers Company. The company developed the land by building houses and by founding a boys’ and girls’ grammar school there, the money was provided by a charity founded initially by Robert Aske.
