Hersham history

---

Around 200 B.C. a huge defensive earthwork was erected on top of St George’s Hill (ecclesiastically in Hersham, but in Weybridge post town), probably as a refuge camp against invaders coming up the Thames Valley. Bronze and Iron Age burials have been found on the slopes of the hill which was clearly a feature of some importance in ancient times.
