Frinsted history
Early history
Iron Age coins (or staters) dating back to the 1st century BC have been found in fields near the village. Parish was part of those possessions which William the Conqueror gave his half-brother Odo, bishop of Baieux, under whose name it appears in the Domesday Book. Four years after taking the above survey, the bishop was disgraced, and the King, his brother, seized the estate and the rest of his possessions.
19th and 20th centuries
Frinsted was owned principally by the Leigh-Pemberton family in the Barony of Kingsdown. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the population of the village declined from 208 (1881) to 150 (1921), a trend typical of downland parishes. The village is now a typical North Downs commuter village.
Frinsted etymology
Frinsted has been recorded under a number of names over the years. It is thought that the name means a “place of protection” and possibly derived from the Old English frithen meaning “protection” or fyrhðen meaning “wooded place”
