Vestry House and Garden



It's well worth a trip to Walthamstow Village and the Vestry House museum and garden; located in a conservation area.  Amongst the displays is the Bremer car.  One of the most unusual stories in the history of British car development is that of its inventor Frederick Bremer. Bremer was a plumber by trade who was fascinated by the first motor cars. In 1894, Bremer lived on Connaught Road, Walthamstow, where he had a small workshop at the rear of his house. Here, he built Britain’s first four-wheeled car powered by an internal combustion engine.
