The Blue Anchor Pub, Tadworth

Brief history of the area

Tadworth appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Tadeorde and Tadorne. It was controlled jointly by Halsart from William de Braiose and Radulf from the Bishop of Bayeux. Tadworth is a large suburban village in Surrey, England in the south-east of the Epsom Downs, part of the North Downs. It forms part of the Borough of Reigate and Banstead.

Tadworth is serviced by three main shopping districts. The largest is around the station, approximately in the centre of the Tadworth area. There is another towards the south of the area, nearer to Walton Heath, and a third, known locally as Shelvers Hill, to the north, near to Epsom Downs. The shops in the area are a mixture of small, independently owned businesses. There are three public houses situated to the south-east of the village centre, the Blue Anchor, the Dukes' Head and Inn on the Green.

Despite its small size Tadworth has two National Rail stations, Tadworth close to the centre of the village and Tattenham Corner railway station to the north, adjoining Epsom Downs. Unlike neighbouring Epsom*, both stations are in Travelcard Zone 6.

Cricket and Football are two of the most popular pastimes of the residents. Tadworth has a Non-League football club Banstead Athletic F.C. who play at Merland Rise.

Tadworth Cricket Club is situated opposite the Duke's Head Pub, on the south-east side of the B2032. During the summer months, cricket is played at the ground by members of the Club. The club has three adult teams, two of which play on Saturday afternoons in the Surrey Downs League, and the other plays on Sundays. The club also has a thriving colts section, with players aged 8–16 who play competitive cricket in the NEC Surrey Colts League.
