Chobham Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Chobham

---

Chobham history

---

Neolithic flints have been found and there are several round barrows on the heaths. Roman silver coins of Gratian and of the time of a Valentinian, and copper coins of a Theodosius, Honorius, and another Valentinian were found near Chobham Park in the parish.

Landmarks

No property in the parish possessed as much land as a medieval manor would have had, since the dues of the whole parish before the English Reformation belonged to ecclesiastical landowners. However, some expansion in building and a modest amount of farming resulted from the presence of two lines of baronets: the Abdy Baronets and Le Marchant. The buildings and estate no longer survive.

Chobham armour

Chobham became known for the development represented by its tank factory and testing ground. The terrain was carved out of the common ground and was used as a testing ground for armour.
