Oxted Local Information

Located in the Tandridge shire of Surrey is the town of Oxted. Bordered by East Grinstead and south of Croydon with its first mention being in the Domesday Book of 1086. Back then, the name was recorded as ‘Acstede’, and it was owned by Eustace II of Boulogne.

The old town is now called ‘Old Oxted’, and consists of a small street and four pubs and oddly the old town’s church, Saint Mary’s, was built so far north of the town that it is now almost at the centre of the new town! Drive to all four pubs in your car rental, and chat with the locals and owners – just don’t drink too many pints! The church dates back to (at least) Norman times, and it is built on a large mound that is most probably man-made. It is thought that the original church was a Saxon construction of wattle and daub.

The fact that the new town is built up around the old church most likely has more to do with the train station being there and attracting people to the area. The new houses were built in the Tudor style and these help to give the town more character. Take a drive around in your car rental and find the old home of renown palaeontologist Alan Charig, in Comforts Farm Avenue in Hurst Green. Charig caught on to the popularity of dinosaurs in the 1970s, with a television show and books on the subject. Prior to that, he worked in the Department of Palaeontology at the London Museum of Natural History. Mohammed al-Fayed also lived in Oxted for a time, as did footballers Julian Speroni, Ian Pearce and Jamie Pollock.

Oxted is located at the foot of the North Downs, a chalk ridge that extends from Surrey to Kent. Parts of the Downs form a nature trail – why not park your car rental and have a stroll and admire the natural beauty.
