Retirement Properties Spotlight in Wimbledon Road

Wimbledon derives its name from 'Wynnmann's hill' and is now most famous for June and the Lawn Tennis Championships begun in 1877 and held each year. The championships are the only Grand Slam tournament still played on grass.

The village expanded considerably in the nineteenth century with the coming of the railways and the high street has a good variety of shops. The common is more than a thousand acres and attracts many walkers and riders and at its centre lies the windmill built in 1817. To the south-west corner is an iron age mound known as Caesar's camp.
