Edward Alleyn, an actor and contemporary of Shakespeare, made a fortune as a theatrical entrepreneur which enabled him to buy the Manor of Dulwich. He had built a chapel, school and almshouses and dying childless in 1626 bequethed the manor to these establishments. The control held by the Estates Governors has enabled the village to remain largely unspoilt. |

Dulwich Village walks are fairly standard but make a point of visiting St Barnabas Church and on the longer walk, Kingswood. It is quite a climb up Low Cross Wood Lane! | [Village Route] |
