Polesden Lacey

Brief history of the area

Fetcham is a small village in Surrey, to the west of Leatherhead, on the other side of the River Mole and has a mill pond, springs and a nature reserve. The majority of housing, as with adjacent Great Bookham, sits on the lower slopes of the North Downs north of Polesden Lacey. Polesden Lacey, now owned by the National Trust has an interesting history with royal connections. The main house was visited by the late Queen Mother for her honeymoon and has hosted many a famous visitor. The grounds make for wonderful hiking and picnic opportunities.

Fetcham Grove has Leatherhead and the village's main leisure centre and football club, between the two settlements. Fetcham has two short parades of shops and services, several sports teams and parks.

The name Fetcham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Fecca's ham" – Fecca's settlement.

There is evidence that there were even earlier settlements, with the discovery of Stone and Bronze Age tools and Roman artefacts, as well as three ancient burial grounds.
