Hatcham
Hatcham was a manor and later a chapelry in what is now London, England. It largely corresponds to the area around New Cross in the London Borough of Lewisham. The ancient parish of Deptford straddled the counties of Surrey and Kent and there came to be a doubt about which county jurisdiction the manor of Hatcham came under. In 1636, the matter was settled by placing it entirely within Surrey. Hatcham became part of Deptford St Paul when the parish was divided in 1730. It has lent its name to the ecclesiastical parishes of All Saints' Hatcham Park, St Catherine's Hatcham, and St James' Hatcham, as the Church of England has thus far avoided the neologism New Cross which came in after the railways were built. In the Domesday Book it is recorded as ''Hacheham''. The name means "home of a man named Hæcci" and derives from an Old English personal name.Mills, A., ''Dictionary of London Place Names'', (2001), Oxford It is described as a manor containing land for three ploughs, nine v ...
