Key landmarks of Clapham

A short distance in you’ll find the 12th century church of St Mary the Virgin, located just off The Street on a small incline into the wooded area that surrounds much of the village.

In recent times, the Woods have been shrouded in mystery and ghostly tales. Many people have spoken of paranormal activity in the wood, which has led some to believe the area is haunted.

Alongside a recreation ground and Clapham Common (not to be mistaken with the slightly larger green space of the same name in London), is a tea room (which, by all accounts, is NOT haunted!), a kennels and a business centre.
