A short history of SM1

An early charter of Chertsey Abbey, probably from the late 7th century, names the place Sudtone. The name comes from Old English words for south and farm. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Sudtone with two churches and about 30 houses. The Abbot of Chertsey held the manor. A survey of 1496 names Oldfields Farm at Rosehill as Eldeseldes. Jose Glover, Rector from 1628 to 1636, helped establish Harvard College. A turnpike road to Brighton opened in 1755 and brought coaching inns including the Cock Hotel. Rosehill had a toll-house on it from 1758 until 1882. Rail arrived in 1847 and between 1851 and 1861 the population rose to over twice its earlier level. After the First World War Oldfields Farm and Rosehill Farm were demolished for the St. Helier estate. Of 19 listed buildings nearby, three are Grade II*: the Church of St Nicholas, the Church Of All Saints and Sutton Baptist Church.
