Egham Hythe history

The Abbey and the causeway

In the centuries around the time of the Norman Conquest the tything of the Hythe, which belonged to Chertsey Abbey, supported only shepherd’s tenements and lowly agriculture dwellings due to flooding quite often by the river Thames. A water-mill known as Trumpes Mill on the stream marking with border of Thorpe in about 1500 was granted with the manor of Mylton or Middleton. The character of the partly Tudor street has been protected by the designation of a conservation area.

19th century enclosure of the common

Hythefield is one of the two significant common commons of Egham, Surrey. It was stated to be in Stevenson’s 1809 survey more highly rentable than most such common of Surrey were it to be made private. To this day two large publicly administered allotments provide fertile soil in the Pooley Green locality for tomato and vegetable growers.

Industrialisation/commercialisation

Egham Hythe gained its first school in the 1880s and its own parish church in 1930. A gradual increase in housing and population was boosted by the building of the railway in the 1850s. The population rose from 22,241 to 30,571 in the period 1951–1961.
