History of
William Buckwell
The Almshouses were built in 1907 in memory of William Buckwell, a prosperous Bootmaker, who lived and worked in Deptford for the greater part of his life.
William Buckwell was born in Brighton in 1823 or 1824. Very little is known about him but by 1851 he was living at 20 High Street, Deptford and working as a bootmaker. He continued to live there until his death in 1904. He was married on 9th May 1858 to Ann Calvert Wakelin at St Martin in the Fields (then in Middlesex) but she died on 26th August 1888 at 20 High Street, Deptford. There do not appear to have been any children of the marriage.
