Background
History
The name is thought to be a corruption of the Latin 'vicus', indicating a Roman settlement along Watling Street, with the place name 'Estwycham' first being recorded in 1284. The 'east' was added to differentiate it from West Wickham, situated some distance away to the south-west. It became a civil parish in its own right in 1854 and formed part of Dartford Rural District from 1894. It ceased to be a civil parish and was absorbed by the Bexley Urban District on 1 October 1902. The area was largely rural in character until the early 20th century, with large scale house building beginning in the area from 1916 onwards.
