Radwell has a triangular-shaped village Green bordered with thatched
cottages and the Swan
Pub. The Swan serves food and is an ideal spot to have a summer
drink.
There are 82 dwellings in Radwell making it a relatively small village
and it is often referred to as a hamlet. The properties are a mixture of
Victorian houses and older stone and brick cottages interspersed with modern
bungalows and houses. |
The former Radwell Chapel built in 1807 |
Radwell has always been a small community but even so it did have a
church. In 1608 it is recorded that during a walk round the parish
bounds by the vicar and villagers one of the landmarks mentioned was St
James Chapel (Radwell). Nothing remains of the building which was near
Hall Farm.
During the C19 non-conformist revival a Methodist Chapel was
built in Radwell in 1807, it still stands in Moor End but was
converted to a modern looking house circa 1980. |

Evidence of
an Iron Age settlement has been found at Radwell together with evidence of
a Roman-British farmstead, so like its neighborough Felmersham, it is likely
that there has been continuous occupation of Radwell from the Iron Age to
the present time. |
