  • Epsom Common (003).Pdf
    1 FOREWORD Epsom Common Association was founded in 1974 by Ted Dowman, then living in the Greenway, Epsom. In his original foreword he explained that the Association was formed after he had written a letter to a local paper complaining about the way motorists drove over the grassy areas around Stamford Green. He was also concerned about horse riders who thoughtlessly rode over footpaths, making them difficult for walkers. The subsequent development of the Association is described on p41 and included the restoration of the Great Pond, for which we received a Civic Award (p42). Bob Dye, who initiated this, is the only founder member of the Committee still active, though he is well into his eighties. I became chairman in 1983 and Ted left Epsom in 1985. We have since followed a similar programme of walks, displays at local functions, talks to local groups and we have added an autumn lecture as well as one at the AGM. We have maintained our interest in conservation, especially in scrub clearance, and though the Borough Council's activities have been limited by lack of funds we are grateful to the Surrey Wildlife Trust, the Lower Mole Countryside Management Project and many volunteers for their help. We have been greatly concerned about possible effects of a proposed Epsom bypass and one route across the Common was seriously under consideration. This now seems unlikely but other routes and the development of Epsom on land belonging to hospitals to the north of B280 could have direct or indirect effects on the Common. In 1991, the Corporation of London acquired the adjoining Ashtead Common, part of the same SSSI, and great progress has been made there in practical conservation by traditional methods of management.

WOKING PALACE EXCAVATIONS Rob Poulton A second season of community archaeological excavation work at Woking Palace was organised by Surrey County Archaeological Unit (part of Surrey County Council) and Surrey Archaeological Society, with the support of Woking Borough Council, and took place between 13th July and 1st August. The exceptionally large (over three hectares) moated site at Woking Palace was the manor house of Woking from soon after the manor was granted to Alan Basset in 1189. During the next three hundred years it was sometimes in royal hands and otherwise often occupied by those close to the throne, most notably Lady Margaret Beaufort (the mother of Henry VII) who lived there with her third husband. In 1503 Henry VII decided to make it a Palace, and it remained a royal house until 1620, when it was granted to Sir Edward Zouch, and soon after mostly demolished. Nevertheless its remains are exceptionally interesting and include well-preserved moats, ruined and standing structures, and fishponds. The 2009 excavations confirmed that the site was newly occupied by around 1200, and revealed part of the medieval great hall. Its replacement, by Henry VIII in 1508, was also examined, notably the projecting oriel window that would have lit the high end of the hall.

  • A Saxon Angle on Old English Weala-Tun
    © Robert J S Briggs 2011 - http://surreymedieval.wordpress.com - email [email protected] A SAXON ANGLE ON THE “BRITISH” WEALA-TUN Robert Briggs I wrote much of the following note as part of an essay on the origins and use of Old English tun in place-names, which I drew upon for my presentation to the Surrey Ar- chaeological Society’s Medieval Studies Forum meeting on Saxon Surrey in March 2009. The paper slipped through the cracks, and the subject matter from my mind, until Richard Savage discovered it languishing in the Forum email inbox and encouraged me to look at it again with a view to disseminating it via its Newsletter. In the intervening pe- riod I was fortunate to attend the final Sense of Place in Anglo-Saxon England seminar at the University of Nottingham, where Della Hooke floated much the same idea - to a mostly positive reception from other leading scholars - in relation to the West Midlands as I shall seek to do in the following paragraphs for Surrey. Nevertheless, I have not sought to update my argument in light of what Hooke postulated. Just as I was moti- vated to research this topic after reading notes authored by Graham Gower and Gavin Smith (Gower 2007; Smith 2008), so I leave it for others to take up the challenge of of- fering further proof of its key tenets (or evidence to the contrary) should they so wish. Among those who attended the Medieval Studies Forum’s Saxon Surrey meeting, I doubt I was the only one to be left with the impression that, historically and archaeologically-speaking, the area of the historic county was a relatively unimportant place for much of the period in question.
