A short history of CR5

People lived in the Coulsdon area from the Neolithic period through to medieval times. In 675 Frithwald, an ealdorman acting for King Wulfhere of Mercia, granted Chertsey Abbey land at Cuthraedesdune. The name is widely understood as the hill belonging to a man named Cuthraed and the Domesday Book records the place as Colesdone. Coulsdon originally meant only the area now called Old Coulsdon. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537 ownership passed to the King and in 1553 the manor began passing to various families. The Byron family owned it from 1782 to 1921. They sold land to the London to Brighton railway company in 1838 and Thomas Byron built Coulsdon Court in 1850. Large areas went to the Corporation of London in 1883. Smitham Bottom was renamed Coulsdon in 1905. Three Grade II listed buildings stand near the centre.
