  • The Douglass Family of Chertsey and Egham, Surrey
    The Douglass family of Chertsey and Egham, Surrey. Our Douglas ancestors were the forebears of Elizabeth Ellen Douglas who was born in 1864. Her father, James Douglas (born 1837), was the fourth successive “James” in the family. It is often assumed that with the name “Douglas” the family must have come from Scotland and this may be true? However the first recorded James in this family was born about 1733 and was living and working in Chertsey, Surrey as a watch and clockmaker between 1769 and 1791. His father was John Douglass, though his origins and birth are not recorded. The surname was, at that time, spelled Douglass. Many of the watches and clocks which came from the workshop of James Douglass, in the late eighteenth century, were evidently very fine timepieces and some are still in existence and available through antique sales today. He appears to have been declared bankrupt in 1791 and he died in 1805 in Chertsey. His wife was Letitia Joyce, who was born about 1733 – the fourth child, of nine, in the family of Joshua Joyce (a baker) and his wife Elizabeth Chitty of Godalming in Surrey. Joshua Joyce was born about 1699 and was the son of another Joshua (born 1664). His christening evidently took place in Godalming, his parents being recorded as Joshua and Mary. The older Joshua is remarkable in genealogical terms as the names of his parents, grandparents and great grandparents are all documented. His wife was Mary Chitty. The Joyce family can be traced back to Henry Joyce who was born around 1560 and was a cardmaker in Godalming.

  • Elmbridge Borough Council Green Belt Boundary Review Annex Report 2 - Local Area Assessment Pro-Formas
    Elmbridge Borough Council Green Belt Boundary Review Annex Report 2 - Local Area Assessment Pro-formas Issue Rev C | 14 March 2016 This report takes into account the particular instructions and requirements of our client. It is not intended for and should not be relied upon by any third party and no responsibility is undertaken to any third party. Job number 243074-00 Ove Arup & Partners Ltd 13 Fitzroy Street London W1T 4BQ United Kingdom www.arup.com Local Area 1 Area (ha) 453.1 Location Plan Strategic Area Strategic Area C lies on the fringes of a much wider area of strategic Green Belt which extends Summary across much of Surrey. Its strategic role in Elmbridge is to prevent the town of Oxshott / Cobham from merging with Ashtead and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham in Mole Valley, though it is also important for preventing encroachment into open countryside. Much of the Area retains an unspoilt and open, rural character, though in some isolated localities ribbon development along roads and the loss of arable farmland to horse paddocks has diminished this character somewhat. At the strategic level, the Strategic Area plays an important role in meeting the fundamental aim of Green Belt policy to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. Assessment of the Strategic Area against the relevant NPPF Purposes is as follows: - Purpose 1 – Meets the Purpose moderately by acting as an important barrier to potential sprawl from the Guildford urban area, Ash and Tongham urban area, Dorking, and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham / Ashtead. - Purpose 2 – Meets the Purpose strongly by establishing important gaps between a number of Surrey towns from merging into one another.

  • Local Area Profile for the Purposes of Gambling Act 2005
    Runnymede Borough Local Area Profile for the purposes of the Gambling Act 2005 Runnymede Borough Council lies in north-west Surrey some twenty miles south- west of Central London. Total area is 7804 Hectares, of which 6078 Hectares are Green Belt. The Borough has three principal towns; these are Chertsey, Egham and Addlestone. Chertsey is a historic town with a famous abbey dating from Saxon times. While it retains its historic character, Chertsey is a thriving modern business centre. Egham lies close to the historic Runnymede Meadow, site of the sealing of Magna Carta in 1215. Several modern office and shopping developments have recently been built around its attractive pedestrianised centre. Addlestone is the Borough’s youngest centre, having only grown into a town in the 19th century. It is now a busy commercial centre and home to Runnymede Borough Council. Addlestone is in the process of redevelopment with a new hotel, a quality shopping centre and cinema. The Borough also contains a number of smaller villages and suburban centres including Virginia Water, Thorpe, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Woodham, New Haw, Ottershaw and Lyne. Its northern and eastern edges are formed by the rivers Thames and Wey, across which are the towns of Staines and Weybridge. In the North West the Borough contains part of Windsor Great Park, to the west it reaches the edge of Chobham Common and to the south extends almost to Woking. At the time of the 2011 Census there were around 34,206 households in the Borough, accommodating a population of 80,510 Key demographic statistics related to the population of Runnymede can be seen below.
