Local
History
The name comes from the bridge on the highway to Chertsey, of which there
is evidence as early as 1235. Weybridge, part of the Manor of Byfleet, was
of small importance during the Middle Ages and, even as late as the 16th century,
the inhabitants asked to be excused from conveying the royal baggage as they
only had one cart! The royal baggage in question was that intended for
Oatlands Palace, constructed in 1537 by Henry VIII. The palace was demolished
around 1650 and many of the bricks were used to build the lock walls on the
Wey Navigation. This was one of the earliest canalised rivers in England.

In the late 1670's, another great house was built by the Duke of Norfolk to
the design of the celebrated architect, William Talman. It later came
into the possession of Catherine Sedley, Countess of Dorchester, whose husband,
the Earl of Portmore, gave it his name. The Third Earl let the house fall
into ruin and all that remains now is a pair of gate piers at the end of Portmore
Park Road. Nearby, Monument Green is a tiny grassy triangle at the east end
of the HIgh Street, named after the tall stone column that commemorates the
Duchess of York who died in 1820. Adjacent to the Green is The Ship Inn, which
still maintains its late 17th century facade.
During the eighteenth century, Weybridge had many famous residents:- The Earl
of Torrington at Oatlands Park, Admiral Sir Thomas Hopson (the hero of Vigo
Bay), the Hon. George Clinton at Clinton House (now part of St. Maur), Sir
Thomas Riggs Popham, the inventor of the Naval semaphore, John Austin, author,
Fanny Kemble, actress and Mrs. Gwyn and Mrs. Bunbury (Goldsmith's 'Jessamy
Bridge' and 'Little Comedy').
In 1800 Enclosure Acts
were passed for Walton & Weybrige. The main beneficiary in Weybridge being
the Duke of York who greatly enlarged his Oatlands estate. In 1838, the first
section of the London & Southampton Railway was opened as far as Woking
and this began the transformation of Weybridge from a quiet rural backwater.
Many villas belonging to wealthy city men were soon lining the slopes above
Broadwater in Oatlands and those of St. George's Hill.
Behind the Roman Catholic Church of St. Charles Borromeo in Heath Road is
the original chapel built in 1834/36 by James Taylor. A curious building with
a dome between four embattled turrets, it was used by the exiled French King
Louis Phillipe and his Queen who drove over from Claremont, Esher. Later,
it was to shelter their graves and those of some of their Court, until the
removal of the bodies to Dreux in France. Only the tomb of the Duchess of
Nemours now remains there.
In 1907, in the fields bordering the river Wey, Hugh Locke-King, the owner
of Brooklands House,built the first motor racing track in England.
Here, for thirty-two years, until its destruction in the Second World War,
the most famous drivers in the world competed for victory.
Part of the track is still preserved and an interesting and thriving museum
of motor racing and aviation stands at the site, utilising the restored Clubhouse.
The oldest air booking office in the world still survives and the airfield,
in the
centre of the race track, saw some of the earliest flights in England. Vickers
established an aircraft factory adjacent to the site which was later taken
over by British Aerospace, formerly the British Aircraft Corporation. The
factory built many legends including the 'Wellington Bomber', the 'Dambusters'
bomb and Concorde.

Weybridge grew into a commuter town with
the advent of the fast train link into London Waterloo and a lot of 'new'
houses have been built around the Oatlands Park and Broadwater Lake area.
The estate at St. George's Hill still remains exclusive but the old mansions
have been replaced with large private residencies,
one being owned by Sir Cliff Richard, who is often seen around the Weybridge
area.
Behind the High Street, where the Library and Elmbridge
Museum reside, is a large, well-maintained park.
Things
to do in Weybridge
If you're looking for a meal out, here are some suggestions of places we can
recommend.
In the centre of town,
if you fancy an Indian meal, try The
Hussain, in Church St., where they have specialised in authentic Indian
food since 1969. Mr. Suliman will give you a warm welcome.
Also in the centre, if
Chinese food is more to your taste, call in at The
Colony, in Balfour Rd., run by Reginald and his staff. Here they specialise
in Peking Cuisine.
A hop and a step (by car)
from Addlestone, brings you to New Haw. Here you will find The
Raj Cuisine run by
Mr. Miah. Look out for his Banquet Night.
Between New Haw and Addlestone,
there is a popular Italian Restaurant, the San Rocco, run by, who else, Rocco.
What else can you do in Weybridge?
.Take
a look in at Elmbridge
Museum. It's in Church Street in the centre of town with plentiful car
parking right behind. Michael Rowe and his staff have built up an excellent
collection of displays and archive material.
Feeling too tired, then
try a complementary therapy at Walton
Therapy.
