Shepperton Local Information
Shepperton is located in the Borough of Spelthorne in the County
of Surrey. The town lies on the north bank of the River Thames.
It gets its name from 'Shepherds Town' and one of the town's older
roads is called Sheep Walk. Saxon cemeteries have been found in
the area suggesting there were early settlements there. The original
village was built around the church square. The church, St. Nicholas
Church, was built in 1614. The village eventually expanded to the
north with the coming of the railway and railway station.
The town is probably most famous as the home of Shepperton film
studios. The studios began producing films in the early 1930’s.
Shepperton studios merged with Pinewood Studios in 2002 but the
two companies have retained their individual identities. Many of
the special effects for the “Da Vinci Code’ were created
at Shepperton. The town is also home to the Thamesmead Music School.
The Anchor Hotel, overlooking the Church Square, used to be a popular
haunt with the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin. Richard Burton
and Elizabeth Taylor also stayed there when they were filming at
Shepperton Studios.
