A short history of Guildford
Mesolithic flint tools found on St Catherine's Hill are the earliest sign of human activity in the area. The name Guildford is thought to refer to a place where the River Wey could be forded. Burials at Guildown began in the late 6th century. Alfred the Great's will of around 880 gives the earliest written record, as Gyldeforda and coins were struck in the town from 978. Domesday Book of 1086 lists Gildeford in seven parts, all held by William I, with 175 homagers living in 75 hagae and the town bringing the king £30 a year. A Norman castle later became a royal residence under Henry III, who granted a borough charter in 1257. The River Wey Navigation opened in 1653 and Charlotteville followed in the 1860s. Twelve of the 270 listed buildings are Grade I, including Guildford House and the Church of St Mary.
