Sanderstead Local Information
Sanderstead is a village on the North Surrey Downs, 3 miles south
east of Croydon. The name is thought to originate from the Anglo
Saxon’s, Sandy Place, due to its location on the chalky downs.
The village is surrounded by the protected green belt countryside
providing residents and local wildlife alike with woodland, ponds
and private gardens to enjoy.
The village is built around All Saints Parish Church where you
can find records dating back to the 9th century showing that the
manor of Sanderstead was presented to the Minister of Winchester.
The manor remained a possession of the church until the time of
Henry VIII and the reformation when it fell into the hands of the
Atwood family. It remained under their control for the next 300
years.
Up until the early 1900’s, Sanderstead was very much a rural
community specializing in arable farming. Sanderstead station opened
in 1884 and residential dwellings started to appear between the
station and the church. Gas and water services were introduced in
the early 1900’s and electric lighting in 1907.
Until the 1930’s the village had only one shop, a dairyman,
a wheelwright and a blacksmith. The main shopping area today is
Cranleigh Parade which was built between 1932 and 1938. Two of the
original businesses are still there and the parade has changed little
since it was built.
Whatever your reason for being in Sanderstead, if you rent a van
hire from the Car Hire Company you can be assured of receiving first
class service at a value price.
