History of Surrey
Surrey’s story stretches back more than a thousand years. Its name derives from the Old English Sūþrīge, meaning “southern district,” a reminder of its origins on the southern edge of the ancient Kingdom of Mercia.
In Saxon times, Surrey was comprised of farming settlements and royal estates, and by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 many of its villages were already established.
The county is home to magnificent estates such as Hampton Court Palace, once the opulent residence of Henry VIII, and Polesden Lacey, a grand Edwardian house famed for its lavish entertaining.
Surrey’s historic market towns, including Guildford with its Norman castle, and Farnham, known for its Georgian architecture, showcase centuries of architectural beauty.
The rolling Surrey Hills have inspired generations of artists and writers, including Jane Austen, H.G. Wells and George Frederic Watts, described as “England’s Michelangelo”.
