MenuDulwich, Surrey
Dulwich is a metropolitan district in Surrey, forming a southern suburb of London. Dulwich has been a manor since ancient times, forming part of the ancient parish of Bermondsey. In 1605 the Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn bought the manor. He created a charitable foundation, the College of God's Gift, and endowed it with the ancient manor. The College subsequently oversaw the development of the Dulwich area. The College founded three large schools in the 19th century: Dulwich College, Alleyn's School and James Allen's Girls' School. The charity's successor, the Dulwich Estate, still owns the freehold of around 1,500 acres of Dulwich. Dulwich comprises several distinct areas: Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, West Dulwich and Herne Hill. The district is within the council area of Southwark.
