History

Warren Row was formed by a few group of cottages on the boundaries of three estates - Hall Place, Rosehill and Park Place.[2] St Paul's Mission, the Tin Tabernacle church, was built in 1894 and was purchased for just over £100.[3] During World War II the local chalk pits were used as an underground factory.[4] Between 1958 and 1961 a secret bunker was built in the chalk mines as the village had been identified as a Regional Seat of Government in case of nuclear attack on London.[5] The bunker was discovered in 1963 by a few anti-nuclear protesters, who referred to themselves as 'Spies for Peace'.[6] It was sold in 1988, being bought by a data storage company and later also used to store wines.[7]
