Sanderstead Local Information

Sanderstead is a village, located in the London borough of Croydon. Over the past centuries, Sanderstead has been a farming community, nowadays Sanderstead is a dormitory suburb for London – which essentially means people sleep there, and their work and relaxation is undertaken elsewhere (in this case, London) – perhaps they use car rental to get there? There is even a lack of a pub in Sanderstead, but this might have more to do with the fact that the Lord of the Manor and Rector of Sanderstead were against drinking. Warlingham, which lies to the south of Sanderstead, has around six pubs – and there is a letter in the British museum from the Rector of Sanderstead to the people of both Sanderstead and Warlingham, in which he calls the residents of Warlingham sinners, due to them visiting pubs. Perhaps you could drive around Sanderstead and Warlingham in your car rental and compare the pubs (or lack thereof!).

Sanderstead is mentioned as far back as 871 in a will, and by the time of the Domesday Book it was owned by Saint Peter’s Abbey. However, settlement is believed to predate this, with evidence found to suggest prehistoric activity – Bronze Age barrows have been uncovered north of the village at Croham Hurst (hurst is taken from ‘hyrst’, meaning woodland). A brass monument now marks the spot and the area is a public space. Use your car rental to get there and back, spending the day exploring this ancient area.

The manor house was known as Sanderstead Court, and it was owned by the Atwood family (this was the family against drinking). During the construction of the Atwood School, a Romano-British homestead was uncovered, with several items hailing from North Africa.
