The
story of St Luke’s, Dunham-on-the-Hill
|
Hapsford, a small settlement located on the A5117 a short distance
away from Dunham, is part of the village community. There is a site for
Traveller families in Hapsford. Until its closure in 2008, the
Dunham-on-the-Hill village school provided Primary Education for traveller
children alongside those from the village.

Originally a small hamlet, Dunham has gradually enlarged, and
is now divided by the A56 main road. Council housing was built in the 1950s
behind ‘The Wheatsheaf’ pub, many of these are now owner occupied.
Other in-fill building in the village has increased the parish population
from approximately 200 in the early 1900s to around 600 recorded in the
2001 Census.
