Ewell Local Information
Ewell is located in the borough of Epsom and Ewell in Surrey. It
is situated at the beginning of the Hogsmill River, which eventually
feeds into the Thames, and has for many centuries been thought of
as sacred. Despite its growing population, it still retains a rural
character and is referred to by locals as a village.
The name Ewell derives from Old English and means ‘river
source’ or ‘spring’, and the straight old Roman
road Stane Street actually deviates around this spring. Ewell is
located between the chalk of the North Downs and the clay of London’s
basin. Relics from the Bronze Age have been found here, and when
the Romans happened upon Ewell back in the day, they would have
most likely found some type of religious setup.
The Saint Mary’s Church in Ewell is part of a long tradition
of having a church in the town dedicated to the saint since the
1200s. The 15th century belltower is the only part of the original
church (due to it collapsing), a newer church having been dedicated
in 1848. The reason the church was moved away from the original
site was because the incumbent (who was also the Rector and Lord
of the Manor) at the time disliked the parishioners’ carts
travelling past his manor house/rectory on their way to Sunday services.
The organ inside was part of an organ swap, as its original home
was due to be sold. To save the organ, Saint Augustine’s at
Highbury sold the organ to Saint Mary’s. However, Saint Augustine’s
was saved, and another church, Saint John’s, was closed and
its organ sold to Saint Augustine’s. Call us at 0208 335 0060
