Caterham

Caterham is a town in the Tandridge District of Surrey, England. It lies on the A22 Eastbourne road south of Croydon in a valley cut into the dip slope of the North Downs. The village lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative division of Tandridge hundred.

The original settlement was on the ridge above the modern town and is now called Caterham-on-the-Hill. The modern town in the valley is a product of the Victorian age and the coming of the Caterham railway line in 1856.

The Victorian expansion of the town required the building of a much larger parish church (St Mary the Virgin) in 1866 but the old Norman church of St Lawrence was retained and remains directly across the road from St Mary’s. As it grew Caterham Valley gained its own church, St. John the Evangelist, which was consecrated in 1882. It is even larger than St. Mary’s.

Caterham Cars, makers of the Caterham Seven sports car, are based in Station Avenue although the cars are actually manufactured in Dartford. Though this was after the company expanded. When Caterhams were 1st built, they were built in a small factory behind a petrol station on Caterham-on-the-Hill. In 2007 Caterham Cars celebrated its 50th anniversary.
