Epsom

The name of Epsom derives from Ebbi’s ham. Ebbi was a Saxon landowner. There were a string of settlements, many ending in -ham, along the northern slopes of the Downs, including Effingham, Bookham, and Cheam. The only relic from this period is a 7th century brooch found in Epsom and now in the British Museum.

The early history of the area is bound up with the Abbey of Chertsey, whose ownership of Ebbisham was confirmed by King Athelstan in 933. The town at the time of Doomsday Book had 38 peasant households grouped near St. Martin’s Church. Later, other small settlements grew up at the town pond (now the Market in the High Street), and at Epsom Court, Horton, Woodcote, and Langley Vale. Some country houses were built in the 1500′s.

In the early 1600′s, the therapeutic powers of the well on the common became known (some say because the cows refused to drink it!). Visitors flocked to take the waters, and, since they needed entertainment, a number of fine mansions and the Assembly Rooms were built, hotels and lodging houses were opened, Investors are eager to get properties in Epson, all kinds of shops were opened, and bowling greens and other leisure pursuits were provided.
