West End is a village and civil parish in Surrey Heath, Surrey, England between the towns of Camberley and Woking, west and east respectively. The village was until the mid 20th century scantily farmed smallholdings amid substantial common land - West End Common to the west is comparable in size to Chobham Common to the north, both dwarf the built-up heart of the village. West End Common includes training ranges of the British army and is separated by a smaller public area, Brentmoor Heath, which shares in naturally wet, acid heathland, a rare soil type. In geology, the Bagshot Formation is apparent in parts of the village. West End lies between Bagshot and Brookwood railway stations, away. The River Bourne runs through the village from its sources to the immediate west. West End and Bisley have little commerce and industry compared to adjoining settlements, with parks, grassland areas and separated by Green Belt buffers. A golf course, plant nurseries and farms adjoin the clustered village centre. ==History== Nearby lands were settled in prehistoric times, evidenced within this civil parish, with a megalithic barrow on Westend Common.〔Four bowl barrows on West End Common Bowl Barrow at New England, West End Common 〕〔(Megalithic info )〕 West End may have obtained its name because it was the west of Chobham, ENE. The 1845 map reproduced by EJ Willson provides boundaries at that date. Its direct predecessor named Westend was in 1870-72 described by John Marius Wilson as "a tything in Worplesdon parish, Surrey; 3¼ miles NW of Guildford. Pop., 341."〔(Headline listings from the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales at a Vision of Britain ) University of Portsmouth and others. Retrieved 09 October 2013〕 A dependency on Worplesdon church, as its tything, is attested in the medieval period until the late 19th century, after which the area formed part of the parish of Chobham. The "parish church", i.e. Church of England church of Holy Trinity, West End serves a similar area ecclesiastical parish and is a small building consisting of a chancel consecrated in 1890, nave consecrated in 1842, and a vestry built in 1906. The material is stone and the style is 13th century. Over the west end is a small bell-turret with a square spire above the entrance.〔 Recognising rising population and housebuilding, the village gained its parish in 1895. In the 20th century many houses were added to the village, during which period books on the county and subject of nurseries show it to be a significant economic centre of nursery gardening.〔(Nurserymen To The World - EJ Willson )〕 The civil parish was created in 1968.〔(Vision of Britain - West End CP ) University of Portsmouth and others.
