East Horsley is a village and civil parish in Surrey, England. The settlement is 21 miles South West of London, partly on the A246 between Leatherhead and Guildford. Most development is concentrated around the junction of two long roads directly north of this road. Horsley and Effingham Junction railway stations are on the New Guildford Line in the parish (connected to London Waterloo). The village has the parade of shops and businesses of the two Horsleys (see West Horsley), Otherwise the two halves of ancient Horsley are similar in having substantial woodland and some chalky lower slopes, in the south, of the North Downs. East Horsley had 1,343 detached homes and fewer than 157 of any single category of the three main categories nationally that describe dwelling types, at the 2011 census. At that census the highest proportion of those of working age fell into the second most senior category used by the Office for National Statistics, followed by those in the highest category. ==History== ;Manors East Horsley appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as having two manors, listed under the chief manor's heading of ''Horslei''. This was held by Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury. Its domesday assets were: 3 hides and 1½ virgates; 8½ ploughs, woodland worth 50 hogs. It rendered £5 per year to its overlords.〔(Surrey Domesday Book )〕 The Bishop's Manor in East Horsley seems to have belonged to the see of Exeter throughout the Middle Ages. Malden writing in 1911 associates closely the Domesday entry in Latin meaning 'Bishop Osborn of Exeter holds Woking' with this manor which his successors later held, since there is no trace of any land held by the Bishop of Exeter in Woking in Pipe rolls, Assize Rolls, feet of fines or the records of Lambeth Palace.〔 ;Enclosure and development In 1792 an Inclosure Act enabled William Currie MP to inclose most of Horsley Common at the northern end of the parish and the common fields and waste at the southern part, very much on the chalk. The parsonage and glebe were at the same time moved within the parish.〔 The village is the site of Horsley Park, a gothic mansion designed by Sir Charles Barry (later the architect of the Houses of Parliament) for Currie in place of an earlier building. William Currie, a distiller and banker, had bought the property in 1784 and over the next 44 years made extensive changes to the village including rebuilding most of the houses in the village, establishing the school and restoring the church. After William Currie's death in 1829 the property was acquired by the 1st Earl of Lovelace. It was the marital home of Ada, Lady Lovelace (the poet Lord Byron's daughter) and later Sir Thomas Sopwith, aviation pioneer. In 1971 it was used as a (Defence) Staff Training College and was placed in the second category of the English Heritage scheme of architecture as a Grade II * listed building. The buildings were used as a location for the film, The Colour of Magic, in 2008. It is currently in use as a hotel. The 3rd Earl of Lovelace imposed restrictive covenants on most of his former fields when selling these to private developers in the early 20th century leading to the overwhelming proportion of homes being detached; no minimum plot size is specified by these and planning is controlled by Guildford Borough Council, subject to advice from the civil parish council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Horsley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
