Dockenfield is a linear settlement and rural civil parish in the borough of Waverley in Surrey, England. The parish is undulating, has a number of sources of the River Wey and borders the Alice Holt Forest. Until 1894 it had an unusual county, as a tything in Hampshire that was part of the parish of Frensham — Frensham's lands were part of Farnham at the Norman Conquest and supported the Bishops of Winchester who lived at Farnham Castle after one arranged its construction in 1138 — in 1239 Frensham gained its own parish, its ecclesiastical parish as used by the Church of England. ==History== Dockenfield, was one of the unnamed tythings of Farnham owned by the Bishop of Winchester in 1086 and the Domesday Book confirms the tythings as his at the time of the Norman Conquest.
