Dorking is an old town with a great amount of history which is reflected in the Museum’s extensive and wide ranging archive of documents and photographs.
Anyone interested in local history will find that our collections shed light on the growth of Dorking and its people and cover most aspects and periods of Dorking’s history from the 18th century onwards. We also hold transcripts of parish registers, some manorial records and indexes to monumental inscriptions.
We are currently in the process of digitising some of our most popular records which will make these far more accessible for everyone.
Dorking Museum Archive
The archive holds material of many different types and formats including maps, tithe plans, architects drawings, property sales particulars, photographs, photographic slides and postcards.
If you are looking for a specific subject or document then please use the search button box to browse through the index to our catalogue. This is a temporary index while we work on developing it into a full catalogue.
Using the Search Facility
If your search finds an item of interest, it may well be part of a larger record. This will certainly be the case if the Index Reference identified in your result contains the character “/” or ends in “ctd“. For example, if your search finds an item with an Index Reference of S650 ctd, then carry out a new search with just S650 for your search term. This will place your original result in its full context and provide additional information relating to the record.
It can be helpful to simplify your search terms. For example, the village of Westhumble may also be referred to as West Humble in some older documents. In this case, a search for Humble will locate records containing both variations.

| H46 | Records relating to a lecture on ñThe Battle of Dorkingî given by Paul Bethell, at the Martineau Hall, Dorking Halls, Dorking, 09 May 1971. 9 items. The imaginary ñBattle of Dorkingî was the title of a novel written by Sir George Tomkyns Chesney and published in 1871 and the lecture was given to mark the hundredth anniversary of its publication. The novel was written in reaction to the German armyÍs swift invasion of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870_71. The alarmist story imagined a successful German invasion of England via the east coast town of Harwich, with the final battle inland at Dorking leading to the capitulation of the British government, and the disbanding of the Empire. ChesneyÍs idea was to alert readers to the meagre number of troops in the British Army, and the likelihood that Britain would be unable to defend herself should she need to. _ Source: http://www.bl.uk/collection-items/the-battle-of-dorking#sthash.4t5NpVK4.dpuf accessed Jun 2016.

| R63 ctd | Administrative History: The political events of 1938 and 1939, led to the flight to Britain of numbers of opponents and victims of the German government. Voluntary committees were set up all over the country to find shelter for them. In Dorking a meeting was held at Holly House on 03 Nov 1938 to consider possible local schemes for helping refugees from Czechoslavakia. This resulted in the formation of the Refugees from Central Europe: Dorking Committee. It was re-named two weeks later as the Dorking Committee for Refugees from Central Europe and subsequently became the Dorking & District Committee. | |
| R63 ctd | The Committee held its first meeting on 14 Nov 1938 and, with an Executive Committee, a Hostel and Departmental Committee and various subcommittees, continued active work for eleven years, holding its last meeting on 12 Dec 1949. | |
| R63 ctd | The first refugees to arrive in the Dorking district were from Sudetenland, of German origin, (possibly the first to reach Britain), to be followed by Jewish refugees from other parts of central Europe. The first parties were accommodated at Fairhaven, Holmbury St Mary and subsequently at Clarendon House and Somerset Hill for short periods until Jun 1939, when the Duke of Newcastle leased Burchett House, South Terrace, to the Committee rent free. Burchett House continued to be the Committee's principal hostel until it was no longer required and was restored to the Newcastle Estate in Aug 1949. During this period it had provided a home, for stays of varying length for 130 people (47 single and 30 families). Between Sep 1939 and Jun 1941 Warren Farm, lent by Mrs Lloyd was also used. Other refugees, adults and children were found accommodation in private houses. | |

| R223/1-25 | Transcripts of deeds relating to Fawkners in East Street, Dorking (now 44 High Street, Dorking), 1668-1832. 25 items. The original records were donated by Mrs Margaret Pantrey in Aug 1995 and then deposited by Dorking Museum at the Surrey History Centre in Jan 1996. The transcripts were compiled by Vivien Ettlinger c.1995. | |
| R223/1-25 ctd | In 1646 John Dendy the younger, innholder of Dorking and Elizabeth his wife had sold Fawkners to John Long, miller of Westcott, Dorking for £140. (See documents at Surrey History Centre 222/4/1-3). Dendy had inherited the property from his grandmother Margaret Wood. In 1668, Longe mortgaged the property to William Margesson, yeoman of Ockley, (R223/1) and in 1677, left Fawkners to his wife Anne for life, remainder to his daughters Mary and Anne (R223/2-5). | |
| R223/1-25 ctd | In 1680, Margesson joined with Longe's widow and daughter Mary (married to Andrew Johnson of Abinger) in mortgaging Fawkners to Thomas Brooker, yeoman of Abinger (R223/6). In 1697, Brooker's son Joseph,of Merrow. joined with Mary, now married to Robert Bartlett, miller of Abinger, in assigning the mortgage to Thomas Sawyer, yeoman of Abinger (R223/7-9). | |
| R223/1-25 ctd | In 1700, the Bartletts and Sawyer sold Fawkners to its tenant Ephraim Heather, baker (R223/10-11). Heather died in 1707 and administration was granted to his widow Mary (R223/12). In 1709, Ephraim Heather, citizen and tallow chandler of London, and presumably the son and heir of the first Ephraim, sold Fawkners to his mother Mary for £100 (R223/13-15). In 1718, Mary Heather left the property to her daughter Mary; in 1754, John Heather left it to his kinsman John Evershed of Ewhurst; and in 1764, Evershed left it to his sister Mary Stantial for life, remainder to her son John (R223/16-18). | |
| R223/1-25 ctd | In 1769, the Stantials sold Fawkners and a slip of land to Walter Gatford, feltmaker of Horsham, Sussex, for £225 15s, and in 1777, Gatford's daughter and heir Elizabeth sold it to Sarah Hubbard, widow of Dorking, for £315 (R223/19-22). In 1795, Sarah Hubbard sold it to John Wright, watchmaker of Dorking, and his trustee, William James, gent of Dorking, for £405 (R223/24). In 1832, Wright's executors sold it to his son Thomas Wright, gent of Dorking, and his executor Richard Chitty, wheelwright of Dorking, for £850 (R223/25).

| R224 | Records relating to street collections for "Playing Fields Day" organised by the Dorking branch of the National Playing Fields Association, 1934-1936, 2 files | |
| R224 ctd | The Association was founded in 1925 to deal with the problem of providing every town and village throughout the country with a reasonable supply of recreation grounds. It was realised that the widespread and growing shortage of playing fields would have a serious effect on the physical, moral and mental welfare of the youth of the country and that a national effort was needed, unconnected with any political creed, to remedy social conditions which condemned the great majority of young people to pass through life without opportunities of health-giving play. | |
| R224/1 | File of correspondence between the officers of the Dorking branch of the Association, its London headquarters, the Surrey County Playing Fields Association and other local organisations, 1934-1936. The subject matter mostly deals with the organisation of Dorking flag days. Also includes an envelope containing a car transparency sticker with the Association's logo. The file appears to have been compiled by a member of the Dorking branch, G W Hewett of Pixham Mill House, Dorking, who features much in the correspondence. | |

| R251 | Records relating to the artist and writer Denham Jordan, (1836-1920) of Dorking, 1 box. These comprise personal and literary papers,1866-1936, 2 files; unpublished manuscripts, 1896-1898,1 file; research notes on Denham Jordan's family origins, 2005, 1 file; and coloured, printed copies from scanned images of bird paintings, 1859-1903, 1 file. | |
| R251 ctd | Biographical History: Denham Jordan was born in Milton Regis, Kent in 1836, the son of a plumber and painter's foreman. His family moved to Dorking in the late 1840s and settled in Church Street. He became a house painter and interior decorator by trade but was also an amateur artist specialising particularly in wild life. He also became a writer on natural history, producing ten books with his "editor" known as Miss J A Owen, but in reality Mrs Jean Visger, the works appearing under the pseudonym of "Son of the Marshes." As "Son of the Marshes" he contributed many articles to Blackwood's Magazine between 1890 and 1897, mostly on the natural history of Surrey or Kent with titles such as "The Weald," 1892. He was considered to be the leading nature writer of his day as his works contained the recollections and reflections of a lifetime spent in the observation of wildlife and country matters mainly in Surrey and North Kent. (Source: R251/3) | |
| R251 ctd | Provenance: with the exception of the research notes on Jordan's family origins (R251/3) and the copies of bird paintings, (R25/4) all the items in the collection were donated by Mr F Plant of Dorking in 1996. R251/3 and R251/4 were donated by Mr Clifford Uwins in 2004 and added to this collection shortly afterwards. | |
| R251/1 | Personal and literary papers, 1866-1936, 2 files. | |
| R251/1/1 | Personal papers, 1866-1911, 1 file of 7 items. | |
| R251/1/1/1 | Original copy of Denham Jordan's marriage certificate, 29 May1866, 1p | |
| R251/1/1/2 | Manuscript agreement between Denham Jordan of Dorking and Frank Colebrook of Tooting, Surrey, for Colebrook to act as Jordan's literary agent, 08 Oct 1898, 2pp. | |
| R251/1/1/3 | Letter to Denham Jordan from Richard Arnold of Dorking which accompanied a payment of £5 for unspecified pictures, 1899, 1p. | |
| R251/1/1/4 | Itemised receipt addressed to Denham Jordan from Frederic Allatson, undertaker of West Street, Dorking in connection with the funeral of Denham Jordan's wife, Mrs Mary Jordan, 1903. | |

| R251/1/1/7 | Letter from Ronald S Scragg of Dorking to Mr Jordan, (a member of Denham Jordan's family) regarding the work of Frank Colebrook in trying to find a market for Denham Jordan's unpublished manuscripts, 1968, 1p. | |
| R251/1/2 | Correspondence between Denham Jordan's literary agent Frank Colebrook and members of Denham Jordan's family, 1920-1936, 10 items. Frank Colebrook who was also the owner and editor of the Dorking Advertiser in the 1890s, was trying, unsuccesfully, to find a market for unpublished manuscripts of Denham Jordan's work, following his death in 1920. It seems very likely that the unpublished material is the same as that at R251/2. | |
| R251/2 | Unpublished manuscripts, 1896-1898. 8 items. All are short articles with the name of Denham Jordan and his pseudonym "Son of the Marshes," appended at the end. The subjects are mostly on aspects of natural history and one on folk lore. They include the following titles:- "The Ebb and Flow," 1896, 30pp; "The Return of the Migrants," 1896, 30pp; "When Winter Leaves Us," 1896, 42pp; "Past and Present," 1898, 20pp; "Folk Lore of the Surrey Highlands," [c.1896?], 17pp; "Vanishing Forms of Bird Life," 1898, 26pp; "Reminiscences of the Foreshores," 1898, 20pp; and "Misadventures in Fowling,"1898, 16pp. The manuscripts in this file are very probably those referred to in the correspondence at R251/1/2. | |
| R251/3 | Research notes on the family origins of Denham Jordan compiled by Clifford Uwins, 2005, 33pp. Includes the text of an article by G M Chapman, "Son of the Marshes," reproduced from Blackwood's Magazine of Jun 1975 and an article by George Frampton, "Denham Jordan's Milton Regis" published in Bygone Kent, Vol. 17 no 4, 1996, (copyright Meresborough Books) | |
| R251/4 | Coloured printed copies from scanned images of water colour paintings by Denham Jordan. The collection comprises 41 colour paintings of the heads and upper bodies of birds and one painting of a stag beetle. Most but not all have descriptive text of their habitat and some have added comment. They are all signed and dated 1902 or 1903 and each measures 4.5" x 3.5." They would appear to have been painted for a common purpose but what that purpose was remains unknown. A much older picture of a robin, painted by Denham Jordan in 1859 has also been added to the collection, the original image of which is 9.25" in diameter. | |
| R251/4 ctd | Provenance: the printed copies were deposited by C M and N J Uwins of Redhill in 2005. The original paintings were obtained partly at auction and partly by direct purchase from a dealer trading as "Wigs on the Green," of Nether Poppleton, York. The original of the older picture of the robin of 1859 was owned (in 2005) by Mrs Madill of Edmonton, Alberta who inherited it from her grandmother, Edith Ames, (nee Jordan), a niece of Denham Jordan. | |

| R780 ctd | Biographical History: Nora Mary Simpson, (1914-2011) was a life long resident of Dorking. She was the daughter of Charles Harwood Simpson, a nurseryman and florist of Dorking and Constance Lucy Ivery. Her father ran a nursery in London Road, Dorking and later a florist's shop at 268 High Street under the name of Charles H Simpson & Co . No less than five generations on both her mother's and father's side of the family were either gardeners or nurserymen and Nora herself assisted with the running of the florist's business until her retirement. She was connected with the Girl Guide movement all her life and was a Brownie leader for many years. During the war of 1939-1945 she was a Squadron Leader in the Dorking section of the Women's Junior Air Corps. A long term member of the Dorking Local History Group, she was a steward at Dorking Museum from its beginnings, serving on the Museum Committee in the 1980s. She died in 2011.

The earliest surviving records date from 1906 with a surviving quotation of 1904 from the company's predecessors Appleby and Hammond. A florist's shop was later established at 268 High Street, Dorking, managed for many years by Nora Simpson herself and which continued to trade until the 1970s. The nursery is thought to have been located on the site now occupied by Ashcombe School near the junction of the present Ashcombe Road and London Road.

| R780/2/1 ctd | Administrative History: St Martin's (Church of England) High School for Girls opened in 1903 in a corrugated iron room in Junction Road. In 1908 the school was moved to Parsonage House in Station Road. The co-educational Dorking County School opened in Ashcombe Road in 1931 to replace both the High School for Girls and Dorking High School for Boys which had originally opened in 1884. A separate Mowbray County Secondary School was built on an adjoining site in Ashcombe Road in 1959 but the two schools later merged in 1975 to form a comprehensive known as the Ashcombe School. The name of Nora Simpson features in several of the speech day programmes and she evidently attended both Dorking High School for Girls, (alternatively referred to as Dorking Girls High School) and following its merger with Dorking High School for Boys in 1931, the new Dorking County School.

| R780/3/2 ctd | Administrative History: In 1939 the Army Cadet Force, Air Training Corps and Sea Cadets Corps already existed as organisations for boys who were intended for transfer to the Forces when they were old enough. But there were no similar organisations for girls who would also be subject to conscription to war work. Girls and women mostly worked in occupations considered suitable for females. The situation changed with the outbreak of war and women joined the Women's Services and other organisations such as the Land Army, Fire Service etc, or they were conscripted into factories and other bodies involved in war work. Girls who were not old enough to do these jobs wanted to get involved and so went along to meetings of the Air Training Corps, Army Cadet Force or Sea Cadets Corps meetings asking to join. It was not until 1942 that the Minister for Education, Florence Horsburgh, was instructed to set up an organisation to be known as the National Association of Training Corps for Girls. | |
| R780/3/2 ctd | Under this umbrella, three Corps were formed - the Girls Training Corps, Women's Junior Air Corps and Girls Nautical Training Corps. The two latter organisations specialised in Air and Sea training whilst the Girls Training Corps covered a more generalised programme of training. Local ladies of some standing were recruited as leaders and girls flocked to join. In Dorking Nora Simpson was appointed a Squadron Leader in the Womens' Junior Air Corps. Cadets learnt morse and semaphore, small household repairs like changing a fuse and fitting a tap washer and learnt drill. The Womens' Junior Air Corps followed courses on aircraft recognition, basic aviation and other air related subjects. They were all involved in helping the war effort, doing things like collecting milk bottle tops and going out in groups to gather rose hips and other hedgerow plants which would be used to make vitamin additives for children They also acted as messengers for Air Raid Precautions Wardens and assisted in many other ways depending upon the needs of the locality in which units operated. Membership was considerable and the three Corps were well known and took part in many regional and national events. When the war ended it was felt there was no longer a need for the Corps and plans were made for them to be wound up. However, once again, the membership had other ideas and wanted things to continue. From 1964 they were known as the Girls' Venture Air Corps. (Source: Girls Venture Air Corps website: http://www.gvcac.org.uk/history/ Accessed Nov. 2013. | |

| R780/3/4 ctd | Administrative History: In 1939 less than a third of the food available in the country was produced at home. Enemy ships targeted incoming Allied merchant vessels preventing vital food supplies from reaching the United Kingdom. To ensure fair distribution of supplies the Ministry of Food issued ration books to every person, with families having to register at one shop. Official rationing began on 08 Jan 1940 and continued until 1954 due to the state of the economy as a result of the war and Britain's responsibility to feed those parts of Europe under its control. Rations were distributed by weight, monetary value or points. Clothing rationing came into effect from 01 Jun 1941 and lasted in a gradually reduced format until 1949. Its aim was not only to ensure fair shares but to reduce consumer spending, free up valuable factory space and release workers for vital war industries. Each item of clothing had a points value usually displayed with the price. The more fabric and labour needed to produce a garment, the more points were required.

Transcript deposited by Dorking Local History Group. | |
| R781 ctd | Administrative History: As superintendent, William Donaldson led a small police force in Dorking from 1838-1851. The Surrey Constabulary was not formed until 1851 and although local policing often existed prior to this it is unusual to find such a detailed insight into their work at this date. The force initially consisted of three officers, Superintendent Donaldson, and Police Constables No.1. William Brown and No 2 Jonathan Lewin. They were based in a Station House, at first in South Street near the town's workhouse. William Donaldson later transferred to the Surrey Constabulary when it was formed in 1851. He had postings at several locations in the county but eventually moved to Haslemere where in 1855 he had the dubious distinction of being the first Surrey police officer to be murdered on duty while dealing with a serious disturbance.

They comprise: land and property records, 1715-[c.1990s?] ; lawsuits, 1759; records of local government, (1692)-1983; records of local businesses, 1819- [c.1979?]; local organisations, clubs and societies 1887-[c.1981?]; records relating to the Dorking and Horsham Turnpike Road, 1834-1880; local events and performances (1827)-[c.1990s]; services and facilities, (1864)-1988; records of people and families, (1797)-1990; military and wartime activity, [c.1980s?]-1990; scrapbooks, 1839- 1984; photographs and photographic postcards, (late 16th century?)-1987; print engravings, paintings and drawings of local views and people and of subjects by local artists, 1788-1985; newscutting transcripts and personal research,1964-[c.1980s?]; and ephemera, [c.1900s?]- 1982. Extent: 34 boxes, 83 files and 35 items. | |
| DM1 ctd | Biographical history: David Knight died at the age of 58 in 1994. He had spent all his life in Westcott, where he lived in Furlong Road and worked as a gardener. He took a deep interest in the history of Dorking and Westcott and built up a large collection of local records and photographs. He also had a great interest in the Dorking and District Museum, donating to it many individual items. He collaborated in the production of Dorking Past & Present (a book of photographs of the town published by Kohler & Coombes in1980) and in addition wrote Dorking in Wartime which he published himself, and Growing Up in Westcott (published by Dorking Local History Group in 1994). | |
| DM1 ctd | Arrangement: the original order is unknown as the various elements of the collection were split up and widely scattered in different sections of the main archive collection. They have now been re-structured and arranged in written form only, in the current listing. The location number in column C should be used for access purposes. | |
| DM1 ctd | Provenance: Many of these records originally came from the business dealings of James White and Sons, auctioneers and estate agents of Dorking (est.1817) who also acted as tithe agents, and surveyors of the turnpike during the 19th century. Others have come from the business and family records of John and William Attlee, corn merchants of Dorking, during the 19th and 20th centuries, while the rest would appear to have been collected on an ad hoc basis reflecting David KnightÍs interest in the history of Dorking and the parishes immediately surrounding it, particularly Westcott. Their provenance is unknown or uncertain and they have therefore been arranged according to type and place. Some items were deposited by David Knight before his death. The rest were ether donated by, or purchased from his executor between 1995 and 2000. The bulk of his collection of photographs were purchased by Dorking Museum from his estate and funded by public subscription. Oher parts of his collection were deposited at Surrey History Centre in Woking. While there are a large number of original records, many others are photocopies. The date of creation of the photocopies is mostly unknown but thought to be between the 1970s and 1995. Where photocopies were made, some of the original documents were later deposited at Surrey History Centre in Woking but in many cases the location of the original documents is unknown. | |

| DM1/8/2 | Records of Dorking Fire Brigade, (1864)-1892, 4 items. | |
| DM1/8/2 ctd | Administrative History: Dorking Fire-Brigade was established in 1843 under the control of the Highways Board of the Parish of Dorking. Its rules were ñre-considered and confirmed by the parishî in 1864. It was then re-organised in 1870 as the Dorking Volunteer Fire Brigade when it was funded entirely by public subscription. Dorking Urban District Council assumed responsibility from 1912 until 1941 when all fire brigades became part of the National Fire Service under war time conditions. When control was again transferred to local authorities in 1948, this was at county level so that Dorking's fire service then became part of the wider Surrey Fire Brigade. | |
| DM1/8/2/1 | Photocopy of the ïRules and RegulationsÍ of Dorking Fire Brigade, 30 May 1864, 11pp. A note on the front cover indicates that the original belonged to the East Surrey Water Company.

A hand written list of the names of 18 members of the ñFire Brigadeî in 1861 has also been added to the front cover. Comparison with the 1861 census returns for Dorking indicates that all 18 on this list lived either in Milton Street, Westcott or Westcott itself. Rather than being members of Dorking Fire Brigade the names on this list were probably members of the private estate fire brigade at Bury Hill, Westcott, their names having been added to the document at a later date. | |
| DM1/8/2/2 | 9 slips of paper with the names of subscribers and amounts received as subscriptions to Dorking Fire Brigade, [c.1875?].

| DM1/8/7 ctd | Administrative History: The Hut was originally a wood and asbestos building built for the YMCA in France during the 1914-1918 war. It was erected in Westcott in 1919 as a memorial to that war. It was intended as a village centre and for a short time, an organiser was provided by the YMCA. Later, a village club was formed but this was not successful and the club was closed in the 1930s. For some years the building was disused and derelict. | |
| DM1/8/7 ctd | In 1937 the Westcott branch of the British Legion became tenants. In 1940 they allowed the premises to be used as a canteen and club for the troops. In 1941 came the first show by the Westcott Players. It was largely owing to the support given to the British Legion by the Westcott players that the Hut was kept going. In 1957 the large hall was condemned as being unsafe for use and had to be closed. The expense of the maintenance and restoration of the Hut was beyond the resources of the British Legion and a successful appeal was launched to purchase the Hut and rebuild the hall. In 1959, a management committee was formed to administer the affairs of the Hut and to be responsible for the complete rebuilding of the premises, including the Club. The Westcott Players became an integral part of the newly formed Community Centre and all profits were handed over for administration by the management. | |

| DM1/9/1 ctd | Biographical History: Shrub Hill was purchased in 1792 by George-William, Baron Leslie (b. 1768) who succeeded in 1810 to the title of Earl of Rothes. It was in his honour, as Colonel of the Surrey Yeomanry, that the public house adjoining the Shrub Hill grounds, the Royal Oak, became the Surrey Yeoman. The Earl died in 1817. Although he had taken on his mothers name of Leslie, his father had been an Evelyn and the Earl was buried with the rest of the Evelyn family at Wotton. The Dowager Countess continued in residence for many years with her two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth Jane. The title then passed to the EarlÍs daughter by a previous marriage. | |
| DM1/9/1 ctd | Lady Elizabeth Jane married Captain Augustus Wathen of the 15th Lancers, a veteran of Waterloo. Wathen endured a famous one monthÍs court martial at the end of 1833 after falling foul of his regimental colonel, Lord James Brudenell, who was later to achieve greater fame after succeeding to the title of 7th Earl of Cardigan and leading the charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War. The charges against Captain Wathen were found to be not merely groundless, but malicious, and as a result Lord Brudenell lost his colonelcy. On his return to Dorking, Wathen had his carriage drawn in triumph through the streets by the inhabitants, preceded by the town band. Rothes and Wathen are commemorated in the names of the roads in the Victorian estate built by the north side of the High Street.

There are often background notes or identification details on the backs of many of the photographs which Knight compiled himself. Although most are original images, there are also many reproductions which have been re-photographed or developed from the original negatives or prints which he had either collected himself or had given to him by friends and contacts. The date of creation of the copies is mostly unknown but thought to be in the period between the 1960s and the death of David Knight in 1995. All photographs are in black and white unless otherwise stated. The whole collection is also available in digital form.

The village green was alive with bleating sheep on their way to the richer pastures between Shere and Dorking. There were 12 gates across the road to control the movement of sheep and cattle. One gate stood where the yard of the Abinger Arms is now. People went through the farmyard to avoid the marsh and gradually it became the highway." | |

| DM1/12/9/2 | Shiremark Windmill, Capel [c.early 1900s?]-1973, 4 files. Administrative History: Shiremark mill, also known as Kingsfold or Capel mill, was a smock mill originally built in 1774. It was named Shiremark because it stood just 20 yards from the boundary between Surrey and Sussex in the parish of Capel. It was acquired by the Stone family in 1802 who were to work it until 1919 when the mill became defective. It then became slowly derelict. The sails gradually fell off, the last one falling in 1956. The cap was intact in August 1958 but by May 1966 the roof had gone exposing the brake wheel to the weather. It was finally destroyed by fire in late 1972 leaving few remnants. (Source: K G Farries and M T Mason - "The Windmills of Surrey and Inner London," published by Charles Skilton, 1966). David Knight made several visits to the mill and took a number of photographs, which form part of his collection below. After his visit in 1969 he recorded on the reverse of his photos that he was unable to go upstairs as the whole building shook. | |

The confusion may have arisen over a misinterpretation of Wright's name on the clock which is abbreviated to Jno. | |

The first station in Dorking (now known as Dorking West on the same line),was located near the town's chalk pits. The present Deepdene station opened two years afterwards in early 1851. It was originally named Box Hill and Leatherhead Road, allowing a connection for travellers on the London turnpike road. The name was quickly changed however, to Box Hill station in March 1851. Another name change was made in 1923 when it became Deepdene station to avoid confusion with the station at West Humble which was closer to the hill. A further slight alteration occurred in 1987 to Dorking (Deepdene). (Source: Alan A Jackson - "Dorking's Railways, pub.by Dorking Local History Group, 1988. | |

| DM1/12/13/9/4 ctd | Administrative History: Dorking Fire-Brigade was established in 1843 under the control of the Highways Board of the Parish of Dorking. Its rules were ñre-considered and confirmed by the parishî in 1864. It was then re-organised in 1870 as the Dorking Volunteer Fire Brigade when it was funded entirely by public subscription. Dorking Urban District Council assumed responsibility from 1912 until 1941 when all fire brigades became part of the National Fire Service during war time. When control was again transferred to local authorities in 1948, this was at a county level so that Dorking's fire service then became part of the wider Surrey Fire Brigade. | |

| DM1/12/13/10/4 ctd | Castle Mill is so named because it was once owned by Betchworth Castle and there may have been a mill on the site since the time of Domesday. However, the existing mill building was built by George Dewdney in the mid 18th century. A wing to the south was added in 1836. The mill was working until the mid 20th century but on a reduced scale after the first world war. It suffered a serious fire in 1933 and was then repaired from a near derelict state and converted to a house in 1970.

| DM1/12/13/10/12 ctd | Administrative History: Charles Howard established his house at Dibden (later Deepdene) and laid out its ornamental gardens in the mid-seventeenth century. His family had owned most of the Manor of Dorking for centuries. His grandson, also Charles, built a Palladian mansion on the site in the 1760s. In 1808 Thomas Hope, one of the richest men in England, bought the Deepdene. He enlarged the house with orangeries, conservatories, a library and galleries, filling it with antiques, sculptures and works of art. The estate was further extended by the acquisition of the Chart Park and Betchworth Castle estates, which were incorporated into the Deepdene. | |
| DM1/12/13/10/12 ctd | During the ownership of Hope's son, Henry, the grounds stretched twelve miles from Box Hill to Brockham. Further extension saw the mansion become the splendid Renaissance-style palazzo where Disraeli wrote part of Coningsby. Towards the end of the century the Deepdene passed to the Duke of Newcastle who had married into the Hope family. He let it to Lily, dowager Duchess of Marlborough and her nephew, Winston Churchill, often visited her there. In the 1920s the estate was broken up as Maurice Chance developed some of the grounds for housing. The house became a grand hotel. A bypass of the town, (one of the first in the country), ruined the gardens. Occupied by the Southern Railway throughout the Second World War, it never reverted to residential use. The Deepdene was demolished in 1967. Now a modern office block occupies the site and all that remains of the Hope treasure house is the family mausoleum which was, until recently, buried to roof level.

| DM1/12/13/10/22/1 | Photographs of paintings of the Dutch House or Mansion in the High Street. 5 items. The dates of the photographs, (as opposed to the dates of the images in the original paintings) are unknown but are all thought to be c. late 20th century. The house stood adjacent to the White Horse Hotel on the south side of the High Street. A building had been on the site since 1585 but was re-built in the Dutch style with distinctive gables in the late 17th century. Following its sale in 1820 it was converted into three houses and during the late 19th century into shops, one of which is now incorporated into the White Horse. During this process it lost its frontage and its distinctive gables. (Source: Dorking Local History Group's -"Dorking, a Surrey Market Town," pub 1991.) | |

The photo was taken when Jack Sanford occupied the shop on Butter Hill (later a toy shop of Miss Spratley) before he removed to the opposite side of South Street and established the Old Curiosity Shop next to the Spotted Dog.

In his broad rimmed hat he was a well known character in the town. He was the bailiff of Dorking County Court for nearly 40 years as well as the town crier and collector of the market tolls. He originally had a business on the opposite side of South Street, at number 8 between 1886 and 1889 and then at number 68, next to the Spotted Dog from 1890. He eventually went out of business when a fire destroyed his entire stock in trade and the building was later pulled down in 1919. (Source: Dorking Advertiser 04 Mar 1905 and electoral rolls.)

| DM1/12/13/10/40/10 | Photographs relating to Stapleton House, South Street used as evidence in a case at the Court of Chancery, [c.1882?], 2 items. The case was before Vice Chancellor Hall in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice in 1882. The plaintive was John Young, a maltser and brewer, then the resident of Stapleton House and the defendant Charles Alexander White, (1831-1905), then resident in the High Street who derived his income from house rents. Young maintained that the footpath or driveway connecting South Street with the approach to his property was not a public right of way and wished to prevent access to wheeled traffic. The court ruled in his favour. (Surrey Mirror, 01 Apr 1882). The photos were presented as evidence in the case and probably came from the records of White & Sons, the estate agents in the High Street. The defendant, Charles White, was a son of James White, the founder of the business and at that time was probably a partner in the company. David Knight derived some of his collection from the records of White and Sons. | |

Large country estates in rural areas where water supplies were often poor, were vulnerable to outbreaks of fire particularly where assistance from the nearest town took some time in the days of horse drawn transport.

It was probably disbanded in the 1920s when Dorking Fire Brigade first acquired a motor fire engine. For a photograph of the estate fire brigade at Wotton House see: DM1/12/38/11/6. | |

He bought the 16th century house Stowe Maries in Balchins Lane, Westcott and his name first appears on electoral registers for that address in 1935. It became the family home where he and his wife Ruth lived with their two children Ronald Howard (1918-1996) and Leslie Ruth Howard, (1924-2013). | |

Photographer: W J Rose. The younger woman sitting on the ground on the right would seem to be the same person identified as Lily Johnson at DM1/12/37/10/32/2/10. The identity of the family is uncertain. There would seem to be no connection with the family of Mr E W Johnson, the Headmaster of Westcott School from 1895-1910. There is a stronger possibility that they were related to the family of John Johnson, the landlord of the Bricklayers Arms. The census of 1901 shows that he had a daughter named Lilian who was also a teacher. | |

Electoral registers show his home address at Thorndale Cottages, Westcott from 1915 until about 1939 when he moved to Furlong Road. His army service record shows that he joined the 3rd Battalion of the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment in 1896 aged 18. He had previously been a labourer working for Mr Barclay at Bury Hill. (National Archives WO 96 23/289.) Medically discharged in 1901, he re-enlisted in the 5th Battalion of the Queen's in 1915 when he was 37. (National Archives WO 363) | |
| DM1/12/37/6/22 | Re-photographed image which shows Alfred John Mitchell (b c.1864) in his grandmother, Louisa Weller's arms at Milton Street, 1864. The figure in the top hat on the right is James Anscombe. 13 x 9 cms. The identification details come from amendments on the reverse.

The 1891 census for Westcott gives no indication of a Philip Muggeridge living in Westcott although there is a person of that name resident in Abinger. Notes on the reverse of the image give the information that Uncle Tom's Cabin was a pub behind Spring Cottages in Westcott Street and was formerly known as the Drum and Monkey. | |
| DM1/12/37/6/24 | Postcards of the family of Bill Razzell, (b. c.1886) of Westcott, [c.1890s?]- [1917?], 4 items. | |
| DM1/12/37/6/24/1 | A postcard of a middle aged couple, [c.1890s?], 13.5 x 8.5 cms. According to notes on the reverse they were the parents of Bill Razzell of Westcott. This information also indicates that "Gran Razzell" was aged 39 in 1876 and that the original photographer was Huck of Leatherhead. These details do not tally when trying to make an accurate identification. The date of 1876 appears too early for the age of the photograph. Bill Razzell, the son of the couple identified is most likely to have been the William Razzell who was born c.1886. His father (b. c.1859) and grandfather (b. c.1837) were also named William. His grandmother Sarah (b. c.1839) would have been 39 in 1876 but the Westcott burial registers indicate that she died in 1862. The couple are more likely to be William Razzell (b.c.1859), a gardener on the Bury Hill estate and his wife Alice Jane (b. c.1860) who were residents of Victoria Cottages in Bailey Road for many years until at least the 1930s. (Source: census returns and electoral registers) | |

| DM1/12/37/6/25 | Personal Photographs of the Westcott photographer and artist, Walter John Rose, which include those of himself and his friends and family, 1877-[c.1940s?], 5 files.

| DM1/12/37/6/25 ctd | Biographical History: Walter John Rose, (1857-1954), was the second son of John Rose, a farm labourer and Jane Rose, formerly Jane Wilkins. His parents had lived most of their lives in the Westcott area where Walter himself was born. He started his working life a a gardener, in line with his two brothers Amos, (1850-1931) and Ernest, (1862-1951), who were both gardeners for many years, but by 1901 Walter had set up his own photography business working from the family home at 1, Westcott Street using a wooden shed in the garden as his darkroom. Walter and his wife had no children but brought up Walter's niece, Emily Margaret Rose, (1907-1991) known as Dolly. Dolly was the youngest daughter of Walter's brother Amos Rose (1850-1931), her mother Alice having died in childbirth. She herself never married and lived with her Uncle until his death in 1954. She then inherited her Uncle's collection of over 900 glass plate negatives and asked David Knight to store them for her. This explains the presence of so many of Walter Rose's photographs in Knight's collection. | |
| DM1/12/37/6/25 ctd | On the back of K1752 Knight has written in a note dated 02 Nov 1991, "that I have only seen one of his photos taken with flash and that was about 1923, he took it with Dolly [his niece] and two friends and they looked rather scared, they thought it was gunpowder. Since Dolly died on 25 Jun 1991, the last link with W J Rose has gone. There is not one old person in the village where I can get any accurate facts now." | |

| DM1/12/37/10/5 ctd | Administrative History: Bury Hill Estate was created by Edward Walter who purchased Chadhurst Farm in 1735 and bought up neighbouring agricultural lands to build up a large estate which ran from Westcott and Milton to Coldharbour and the fringes of the Holmwood. He built Bury Hill House following the purchase of land in Milton manor in 1753. The estate was sold in 1815. Nearly a thousand acres were bought by Robert Barclay, a wealthy Southwark brewer and the Barclay family retained ownership for 150 years. After occupation by the military in the Second World War, the centre part of the house was destroyed by fire in 1949. The outer parts remain and have been converted to apartments. The rest of the estate was then split and sold off. (Source: Dorking Museum website accessed 2017) | |

The business was next to Brooklands House on the main road opposite the church and originally offered the traditional blacksmith, farrier, wheelwright, and ironmongery service which later evolved to include the village bicycle repair shop, (just before the First World War) and garage. The Shell petrol company bought the premises in 1965 and demolished the buildings to make way for a new petrol station. This in turn was later demolished to be replaced by a private house.

| DM1/12/37/10/16 ctd | The manor of Milton can be traced from the eleventh century with an estate which comprised around 100 acres. .Milton Court House was built in the late 16th century and rebuilt in 1611 by Richard Evelyn. The Evelyn family sold Milton Court to Robert Barclay in 1812. It was later sold to Douglas Biggar in 1850 and to Lachlan Macintosh Rate in 1864. With the architect William Burgess, Rate was responsible for many of the extensions and alterations which make up the present house. The Rate family sold the property to Sir H M Mallaby-Deeley in 1936. After his death in 1937 the estate was sold again in 1939 and was occupied by the cable manufacturer W T Henley, who eventually became the owners from 1953-1965. It was then acquired by the insurance company National Employers' Life until it was sold to UNUM the present owners in 1990.

| DM1/12/37/10/20 ctd | Administrative History: the estate was originally known as Chert Gate Farm and is at the south western edge of the village at the foot of Coast Hill. It was later developed to become the Rookery. It was originally owned by Abraham Tucker of Betchworth Castle before being purchased in 1759 by David Malthus who built the large house and landscaped the grounds including ponds and a waterfall. His son the Rev. Thomas Malthus, an economist, was born at the Rookery in 1766 and was famous for his "Essay on the Principle of Population." In 1768 the house was bought by a banker, Richard Fuller. It was sold again in 1892 to Mr Brooke of the Brooke Bond tea company. It was then let out to various tenants including Lord and Lady Wolverton who entertained Edward VII and Queen Alexandra for tea in Jun 1904. The mansion was demolished in 1966. The estate had two water mills known as Upper and Lower Rookery mills. One was on the embankment between the two lakes and one below the lower lake.

| DM1/12/37/10/30 ctd | Westcott mill was located at the end of a drive leading off Westcott Street. After a large fire in 1843, a new building with a slate roof was built around 1850. With three pairs of millstones it had a 15 foot overshot wheel capable of producing 55 sacks of flour a week. Mill owners from the late 19th century included King & King until 1882, Edward Willcox until 1895 and Charles Hall until 1904. The mill stopped working in 1909 and the machinery was sold for scrap in 1912. It has now been converted to a house.

| DM1/12/37/10/31 ctd | Administrative History: Westcott Church of England School was established in 1854 as a co-educational church day school when the original school at Milton Street became too small for the increasing number of children in both Milton and Westcott. The building was located towards the end of School Lane near the Vicarage and was extended in 1912 to provide an additional two classrooms. Pupils would stay at the school until they reached the leaving age of 14 or 15. It later became a primary school in 1948 for children up until the age of 11. In 2010 it amalgamated with a school in Abinger, both operating from their original sites as the Surrey Hills Church of England Primary School. | |

Minnie Murrel was a servant girl who had been working at Mr Inglis's tailor's shop at No 3 High Street, Dorking when a gas explosion followed by a serious fire occurred there on 10 Sep of 1888.

| DM2/2/3/1 | Letter addressed to "Dear Walley," from his cousin Harry from an address in Poissey, France, 02 Sep 1868. Walley is thought to be Walter Stone (b.1854) who would have been 14 at the time the letter was written, while the writer is probably his cousin Henry, (b. 1855), also known as Harry, who later became his business partner in Dorking. Harry tells of his pleasure "when I heard that you had beaten the Lewes boys," and that "I was so delighted to think you had beaten the Lewes boy that I did not know how to write properly! " He goes on to say "Have you got any fresh boys this half? Is there anything more in the playground now? Give my compliments to the Messrs Leaver, the French master & my love to Austin, Lawrence & Miller etc ." The Messrs Leaver probably referred to William Castle Leaver and his brother Frederick Leaver, who were both schoolmasters at the Albert school at Sussex Lodge, a grammar school in Newhaven High Street, at which both Walter and Harry were evidently pupils.

The content discusses a family disagreement. Names mentioned include Everard, Henry, "your aunt Laura" the Phillips's and Lucy. [Everard was the brother of Harry or Henry Turner (of Stone & Turner of Dorking). W D Stone was the father of Walter Stone of Dorking and at the time, he was the manager of the Newhaven branch of the London and County Bank. The identity of "Wally" is uncertain, as W D Stone signs himself as "your aff son," even though his own father William had died in 1855. The letter was written just a few months before W D Stone died in November of the same year so the word 'son' might possibly be a clerical error when he in fact meant father. | |

| DM2/2/4/8/1/1 | Photograph mounted on card of a military man in cavalry uniform and wearing a cuirass, [c.1880s?], 15 x 10 cms.

It was this unique setting that attracted the young Thomas Hope to purchase the estate 156 years later. | |
| DM7 ctd | At the heart of the Deepdene Trail is the Hope Family Mausoleum. Built by Hope in 1818, this structure is the last complete surviving building of the estate and final resting place of Thomas Hope himself. The project led by Mole Valley District Council and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and other local organisations including Dorking Museum, aimed to restore architectural and landscape features and relink the fragmented parcels of land of the historic Deepdene estate with the new Deepdene Trail. | |
| DM7 ctd | Part of the project involved collecting oral histories from those who had lived or worked on the estate.

| SC.R/3 ctd | Administrative History: the Dorking Charities is the name given to a number of charities and legacies that were set up to benefit the poor or aged of Dorking during the 17th to 19th centuries. These charities and legacies had been brought together and named the Dorking Charities under a Charity Scheme of 1878. This provided for a single set of trustees who would apply the incomes of the charities mainly to the support of the Cotmandene Almshouses and its inmates and also to the apprenticing of poor children and donations to the sick and infirm poor. (See: R217/25). The first almshouses on the Cotmandene were erected in the 1670s; the buildings were replaced by new Almshouses in 1847/48, extended in 1975. The profits from the sale of the South Street poorhouse (built c 1613) was paid to the Trustees of the Cotmandene Almshouses (SC.R/3/12) The Dorking Charities are now known as Dorking Charity and continue to provide sheltered housing for residents in the Dorking area and grants for those in need.

| SC.R/14 | Documents of the Dorking Sub-Committee for Naval and Military War Pensions, 1916, 3 items. The Secretary was Ernest Sellick. | |
| SC.R/14 ctd | As the First World War progressed and huge numbers of servicemen began to return with life-changing physical or psychological damage, the authorities realised that existing arrangements for the payment of military pensions had to be overhauled. In November 1915, the Naval and Military War Pensions Act was passed by which responsibility for pensions for disabled men and their dependants, formerly shared between the Admiralty, Chelsea Hospital and the Army Council, passed to a Statutory Committee of the Royal Patriotic Fund. To assist the work of the Statutory Committee, Local Committees were set up in each county, with Special Sub-Committees at district level. The 25 members of SurreyÍs Local Committee, set up in 1916, included representatives from the County Council, employers, labour, servicemen, the Surrey Territorial Forces Association, Surrey SoldiersÍ and SailorsÍ Families Association and the Surrey SoldiersÍ and SailorsÍ Help Society. At least three members were to be women. The duties of the County Local War Pensions Committee and the District Sub Committees were to supplement, in cases of need, pensions and allowances made from public funds to wives and dependants of servicemen, make grants to widows, make interim payments and so on. They also arranged for the care and the subsequent employment of disabled servicemen and collected public contributions. | |
| SC.R/14 ctd | The system was further changed when a Ministry of Pensions was created by Act of Parliament of December 1916. Following this, the Statutory Committee was dissolved as from September 1917, though the Surrey Local Committee continued in existence until, under the War Pensions Act 1921, its functions were transferred to five new district committees appointed by the Minister of Pensions; the new committees took over from December 1922. The five Surrey districts were Aldershot, Farnham and District; Croydon, Godstone and District; Guildford, Reigate and District; Surbiton, Richmond, Chertsey and District; and Wimbledon, Epsom and District. | |
| SC.R/14 ctd | Pensions could be awarded ïwhere the disablement... is due to, or aggravated by, military serviceÍ. Awards were no longer to be based on an assessment of a veteran's ability to earn a living wage but were granted according to a standardised schedule.

| SC.R/15 ctd | Administrative History: Until the creation of police forces in the mid nineteenth century, law and order was in the main the responsibility of elected parish constables. Costs of prosecution, including the cost of bringing witnesses to court, had to be borne by the complainant or by the constable. Towards the end of the eighteenth century therefore, the propertied classes formed co-operative associations to cover the costs of providing and advertising rewards for the apprehension of criminals and for the costs of bringing cases to court. The Beare Green Society was one such association. It was established in June 1779 and met at the DukeÍs Head Inn at Beare Green with a membership covering a wide social spectrum. This included anyone who had property liable to theft in a wide area from Dorking in the north to Horsham in the south and from Shere in the west to Charlwood in the east. A small police force was formed in Dorking in 1838 and the Surrey Constabulary was established in 1851. This must have reduced the demands on the SocietyÍs funds but its activities nevertheless continued until 1930. (Source: material drawn up by Brian Overell in 1995 (see R409)). | |

The suggested structure consisted of a First Police Reserve of police or army trained constables, and a Second Police Reserve of volunteer special constables. Nothing more of this directive was heard of until November 1914, when the outbreak of war inspired the enrolment of 2000 special constables in the Surrey Constabulary area. They were provided with uniforms, armlets and truncheons, and apparently gave valuable service throughout the First World War. In 1919 they were stood down but allowed to keep their truncheons.
