Godstone history

The village lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative division of Tandridge hundred. It is built along a stretch of the London to Brighton Way Roman road. The name of the village was recorded in 1248 as Godeston, suggesting an etymology of the Old English personal name Goda.

Godstone geography / climate

The heart of Godstone consists of two centres, Church Town and Godstone Green, linked by other neighbourhoods. Overall the long north-south parish covers 1,806 hectares (4,460 acres) and through its length of approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) the A22 road runs.

South Godstone

South Godstone was originally known as Lagham and centred on the old mediæval moated manor house of Lagham. It also features a listed brew house, oast house and stable just north on its moat. The Fox & Hounds on Tilburstow Hill is also a short walk away.

Blindley Heath

Blindley Heath is the southernmost portion of the parish, a hamlet separated by fields from the village of Godstone. It is the best known example of a relict damp grassland on Weald Clay in Surrey and has several ponds and a stretch of Ray Brook.

The Enterdent

The first two dwellings appeared in 1842, and improvements began on the cottages in 1857, now number 6 and 7 The Enterdent. A second terrace of cottage, this time eight in number, appeared further up the valley. Today, the fifteen original cotages have been converted to eight homes.
