The Old Woking website

The village of Old Woking now part of the commuter town of Woking. The village is, however, the original town of Woking.

Our website gives details of buildings built prior to 1700 most of which but not all are listed. There being no natural stone in this part of Surrey most of these buildings are timber framed but there a number of brick houses.

The buildings described are not only those in Old Woking village as the intention is to cover not only the village but pre-1700 buildings in the original ancient parish of St Peter´s, Old Woking. Up to 1840 or thereabouts the parish stretched up to St John´s and Knaphill and included Sutton with its Tudor Sutton Place. The other parts of Victorian Woking were in the ancient parishes of Byfleet, Horsell and Pyrford.
