Beenham's Heath Small Hamlet on the Moor
Just below the bridge are the remains of an old moat, all that remains of the original Beenham’s Farm. This was the home of Ralph Newbery who, followed by several members of the family, travelled to London and became a famous publisher way back in the 16th century. His descendent, John Newbery, is particularly noted for being the first ever publisher of children’s books. See also Waltham St. Lawrence.
