Whiteley Village
Whiteley Village, in Hersham, Surrey, England, is a retirement village, much designed architecturally by Arts and Crafts movement-influenced architect Reginald Blomfield. It is owned by the Whiteley Homes charitable trust and is on land which was once part of Walton Firs and Walton Heath, before the parish of Hersham was created in the 19th century.
==History==
Whiteley Village formed as the result of a bequest of £1,000,000 realised in 1907 upon the death of William Whiteley (). The village is owned and administered by the Whiteley Homes Trust, a charity registered in the UK, and provides almshouses for older people of limited financial means. The village also contains an extra-care facility (51 self-contained flats with domiciliary care) and a 100-bed nursing and residential care home.〔(Whiteley Village )〕 The land on which the community sits is at on the gravel-rich lower slopes of the much higher bank of the River Mole, Surrey, 10–15 metres above the level of the tributary.〔(Grid square map ) Ordnance survey website〕 Its surrounding buffer land has remained the most wooded part of its two historic parishes, and until the 19th century was wholly part of Walton Firs and Walton Heath in Walton on Thames. Hersham is one of the most recently created chapelries and villages in Surrey, created in 1851 from the southern part of Walton-on Thames. It is, roughly, the part of the original parish south of the South Western Main Line. Its first Church of England place of worship, a chapel of ease was built of yellow brick in Anglo-Norman style in 1839.
