End of Tenancy Cleaning Ickenham UB10

Ickenham was inhabited since the Roman occupation of Britain. Pottery and a Roman fields system from the 1st and 2nd centuries were found here. It is believed that after 410 AD when the Romans left Britain, this area was not inhabited for a while. The Domesday Book records the settlement as Ticheham. Ickenham comprised of four manors. Geoffrey de Manderville was lord of the manor. At the beginning of the 14th century, John Charlton was in charge. His son John owned the nearby manor of Swakeleys which is now known as Swalcliff. For more than 500 years, between the 14th and the 19th century, the Shorediche family owned this area.

The Crosiers were another prominent family that lived in Ickenham. They were Middlesex landowners that came here in the 16th century. Sherwyns was the Crosiers’ manorial home which eventually was renamed to Ickenham Hall. This Grade II listed building can be found within the grounds of the Compass Theater. The nave and chapel of the St Giles’ Church are from the 14th century. The church is not mentioned in the Domesday Book so it must have been built sometimes between the 11th and 14th centuries. The Pump is an Ickenham landmark. The water pump dates from 1866. It was donated by resident Charlotte Gell as per her will’s instructions. Gell also donated land for almshouses. The buildings are still standing.

The Coach & Horses pub near the Ickenham pump dates from the 16th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, 329 people were living in this part of North West London. A hundred years later, more than 9,000 people inhabited this UB10 area. The tube station opened in 1904. It was rebuilt in the 1970s. Ickenham Festival first took place in 1976. The event takes place once every two years. It features a charity event, party, and fireworks.
