During the 2nd World War, Wickham Place was used by the Canadian Army as accommodation for their officers.

It was in the 1960's that land was sold to build the estate that now surrounds Wickham Place (i.e. Highfield Drive and Spinney Close) as the aerial photograph in the hall shows. And in the 1980's the house and garden was sold. That is when we purchased Wickham Place, which retains its character with original leaded light windows, oak staircase and walled garden.
