Shalford is a village and civil parish in Surrey, England on the A281 Horsham road immediately south of Guildford. It has a railway station which is between Guildford and Dorking on the Reading to Gatwick Airport line. It has one named locality, occupying the west of the area, Peasmarsh. ==History== Shalford appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Scaldefor''. It was held by Robert de Wateville from Richard Fitz Gilbert. Its domesday assets were: 4 hides; 1 church, 3 mills worth 16s, 11½ ploughs, of meadow, wood worth 20 hogs. It rendered £20.〔(Surrey Domesday Book )〕 The village also became well known for "the Great Fair of Shalford" which was set up by a charter issued by King John. In its heyday, it was said to have covered 140 acres (570,000 m²) and attracted merchants from across the country. The mills continued to be built and operated there for hundreds of years. One still survives intact today. The original church, mentioned in the Domesday survey, no longer exists. An early Victorian church now stands in its place. St Mary's was built in 1846 with a lychgate and stained glass.〔 St Mary's Church〕 Many older cottages do survive. One of the finest properties, Shalford House, dated back to the Tudor period and featured a carved stone fireplace dated 1609. Unfortunately, Shalford House was demolished in 1967 to make way for a water treatment plant. There are many Grade II listed structures including stocks and whipping post.〔 Fosters Row Tilehouse Farm Barn Stone base to cross Mill Cottage, Watermill Cottage Mill Lane Cottages Debnershe The Mill House The First School Gate to First School Beech House 20-22 The Street Shalford Park Cottage Whitnorth The Seahorse public house 36-40 The Street 24-30 The Street 16-18 The Street Cemetery Chapel Cemetery Lychgate Lemon Bridge Cottage Stocks and whipping post Bridge over Tillingbourne 69 Station Road 49 & 51 The Street 32-34 The Street Cemetery wall The Firs War Memorial〕 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「Shalford, Surrey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
