Wessingham

Wessingham
Wessingham is a village in the Upper Tonne district in Harlington. It lies approximately 5 miles north of Tonmouth, and about 7 miles west of Tinchester, and houses around 13,095 residents.

Wessingham is home to the Brackenwood Museum, which showcases the numerous fossils found in the Tonne Marshes and surrounding areas. The south coast is one of the most popular areas for researching fossils.

Wessingham also lies at the northern edge of the Tonmouth Hills. It has close ties with both Tonmouth and Tinchester.

Railway Station and Transport
Wessingham railway station has four platforms, and has frequent connections to Upton, Tonmouth, Xenorth, Tinchester, and other areas such as Brackenwood, Barley and Harlington.

The original station, named "Upton", was built in 1985. It was originally built to serve the Tonmouth suburb but was built where Wessingham's current station is due to the conditions not being sufficient enough for a railway station. In 2010, Upton finally got its own railway station, and the original station was renamed to "Wessingham" to serve the large village of Wessingham which the station was nearer to.
