Teddington history

---

Etymology

The place was known in Saxon and Norman times as Todyngton and Tutington. It was also known as Tutington and Todington.

Teddington’s beginnings

Bushy House was built in 1663, and its notable residents included British Prime Minister Lord North who lived there for over twenty years. Teddington was not mentioned in Domesday Book as it was included under the Hampton entry.

Economic change

Teddington was built in 1811 with its weir across the Thames River. The first major event was the construction of the first (and now the biggest) of five locks. In 1864 a group of Christians left the Anglican Church of St. Mary’s (upset at its high church tendencies) and formed their own independent and Reformed, Protestant-style congregation at Christ Church.

20th century

Great change took place around the turn of the 20th century in Teddington. Many new establishments were springing up, including Sims opticians and Dowsett’s newsagents. By the beginning of the Second World War, the greatest source of employment was in the NPL. During the war General Dwight D. Eisenhower planned the D-Day landings at Camp Griffiss in Bushy Park.
