In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Oldbury like this:
OLDBURY, a hamlet in Ightham parish, Kent; ½ a mile W of Ightham village. Oldbury Lodge is the seat of H. Martin, Esq. Oldbury Hill is crowned by a Roman camp of irregular form, enclosing about 137 acres, and defended by a single vallum.
Oldbury is now part of TONBRIDGE AND MALLING District. Click here for graphs and data of how TONBRIDGE AND MALLING has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Oldbury itself, go to Statistics.
