Tonbridge Wells, with the Chapelry of Southborough & neighbourhoods
If you value the information provided on this site, you can donate to Willen Hospice in memory of our daughter.
Tonbridge Wells, a fashionable and celebrated watering place is partly in the parish and lowey of Tonbridge and partly in that portion of the parish of Speldhurst which is in the hundred of Washlingstone and lathe of Aylesford and extending into the parish of Frant, hundred of Rotherfield and rape of Pevensey in Sussex; it is 36 miles SE by S from London, 6 S from Tonbridge town and 30 from Hastings and Brighton. This town, though irregularly laid out, is handsome. The celebrated chalybeate springs are at the entrance of the Parade and near them are the baths, the libraries, the theatre, assembly rooms, principal shops &c. The Parade which is broad and handsome extends from the springs one hundred and seventy five yards and is the fashionable lounging place of the visiters during the season; the other parts of the town stand on detached eminences, severally named, Mount Ephraim, Mount Pleasant, Bishops Down, Mount Sion, Grove Hill &c. and are interspersed with shrubberies and pleasure grounds all at an easy distance from the wells. The inns, and boarding and lodging houses are of a very superior description. Within these few years the town has been considerable improved by modernizing some of the old houses and erecting new ones; but the most striking alteration has been on the Calverley Estate on which have been erected elegant villas (in a park abounding with the finest scenery), terraces, a promenade, a market and a splendid hotel of the first class; several tasteful villas have also been erected in Nevill Park, near Bishops Down. The waters of the wells are considered to be as nearly as strong as those of the German spa; their medicinal qualities were first discovered in 1606, by Dudley Lord North, on his return from Eridge, where he had been sojourning on account of his health/; the beneficial effects of the waters on his lordships constitution speedily raised them to the repute that they have ever since maintained. The staple trade is the manufacture of toys and articles for ornament and domestic use, made in great variety and elegance from several kinds of wood and all denominated Tonbridge ware. The fashionable season is May to November but of late years the number of resident gentry has greatly increased, it being well known that the waters prove efficacious in winter as in summer. During the season for visiters the theatre is open and there are races in August. An act of parliament was passed in July 1835 for the establishment of a police and lighting and watching and otherwise improving the town, the regulations of which are under the control of commissioners. The places of worship are a district church which was consecrated and opened for divine service on the 3rd September 1829; a chapel of ease situated near the springs; a Roman catholic chapel opened in September 1838; and chapels for Wesleyan Methodists, Baptists, independents and Lady Huntingdon’s Connexion; a very handsome edifice has also recently been erected called Christ Church. The charities which are numerous and well supported, comprise several schools – one upon the national system, another for infants, and a chapel school for boys; a well regulated dispensary, and lying in and Dorcas societies. There are many elegant seats and residences in this vicinity and the scenery of the country around the Wells is highly picturesque and diversified. There is no particular market day; but every article of necessity and luxury is in abundant supply daily. According to a census taken by the local act commissioners in 1837; the population of Tonbridge Wells was as follows: - that part of the town in the parish of Tonbridge 6698; that in Speldhurst parish 1922; that part in Frant parish (Sussex) 534; total 9154 – presenting an increase of about 3000 inhabitants since 1931.
Nearly three miles from the Wells, in the parish of Tonbridge, is Southborough, a chapelry lying about midway between the two towns; it consists of a number of unconnected houses, and a district church, the latter erected some years since by subscription and vested in the superintendence of trustees who have the appointment of the minister. The population is returned with that of Tonbridge.
