Location

Addlestone started life as a small hamlet back in 1200's. First recorded as Attel's Denu (the valley belonging to Attel). By 1241, the name had evolved to Attelsdene and settled as Addlestone by 1610. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, Addlestone was an agricultural hamlet serving the Chertsey Abbey and you will notice that here are still several farms in the area which gives it a rural feel.

With the increase of canals for the movement of goods, Addlestone was well placed and the Wey Navigation was joined with the Basingstoke Canal to transport wood, coal, flour, corn and gunpowder. This fuelled the growth of new industries in the area. As the steam age took a hold, Addlestone began to attract new residents in addition to farming, the population included bricklayers, Innkeepers, Wheelwrights, Blacksmiths and Bootmakers.

There is a lovely, peaceful walk along the canal where you can enjoy the wildlife and the variety of boats moored along its banks.

There is an ancient Oak tree still standing in Addlestone, called the Crouch Oak – local legend tells that Queen Elizabeth 1st picnicked under it. It is believed to be 1,000 years old and in times gone by, it had to be fenced off to prevent its bark from being stripped by young women to make love potions.

Today, Addlestone is a thriving town. A mix of independent shops, a brand new shopping centre, that includes the fabulous Light Cinema, Waitrose and restaurants. The town also has a large Tesco and a train station and a variety of cafes.

Addlestone has a range of public sector schools from primary through to 6th form. There are also private schools nearby, including the prestigious St Georges College secondary school and 6th form which is on the outskirts of Addlestone.
