All Saint's, Church, Banstead

Brief history of the area

Banstead is situated in the Borough of Reigate and Banstead in the County of Surrey. The original village was part of the Manor of Banstead, held by Royalty from the 13th century for nearly 400 years. The earliest recorded mention of Banstead was in an Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 967, in the reign of King Edgar.

The ancient Parish of Banstead was extensive, including areas which are now part of the Parishes of Tadworth and Kingswood. For centuries up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the appointment of a priest of the Parish Church of All Saints was held by the Augustinian Canons of St Mary Overie, who had a Rectory and Chapel at Burgh Heath.

Banstead has a thriving high street, and library, with NHS health clinic attached. Its proximity to the A217 connects this leafy suburb to Sutton and the affluent surrounding areas of Kingswood and Walton on the Hill.

Banstead is home to several golf clubs including Banstead Downs, The Oaks, and Cuddington Golf Club.

During the second world war a V1 Flying Bomb, also known as a 'buzz bomb' or 'doodlebug’ bomb caused considerable damage at the eastern end of Banstead high street. The area has since been redeveloped, and aside from the memorial, it is completely unrecognisable from 100 years ago.
