A short history of Hersham
Flint tools from the mesolithic period found beside the River Mole show early occupation and around 200 BC a large earthwork was raised on St George's Hill, where Bronze and Iron Age burials have also been found. The Anglo-Saxons were possibly the earliest lasting settlers and gave the place its name, which was written Haverichesham in the 12th century. A court was held there in 1272 by Reginald de Imworth and his wife Matilda. Henry VIII bought the manor of Morehall or Sylkesmore from John Carleton in 1540 and Southwood timber went to Nonsuch Palace. Elizabeth granted the manor to Thomas Vincent in 1579. In 1851 Hersham gained its own ecclesiastical parish and J. L. Pearson built St Peter's church in 1887. ABC Motors built an aeroplane in the village in 1929 and in the Second World War Vickers-Armstrongs ran four production sites here. Seven Grade II listed buildings stand near the centre.
