Shalford, Surrey

Location

Shalford is an Ancient Parish located in the west of Surrey. It is approximately three miles south of Guildford and twelve miles west of Dorking. For additional information please see A History of the County of Surrey: Volume 3 at British History Online.

The Parish (CofE) Church is St Mary, Shalford, which can be seen here on Google Street View.

"A History of the County of Surrey: Volume 3" (pub 1911) simply notes 'The registers begin in 1564, but there are no marriages till 1581. There is a gap between 1651 and 1653, and the marriages are lost from 1754 to 1782.' The Surrey History Centre paints, from amodern perspective, a slightly different picture - see http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/recreation-heritage-and-culture/archives-and-history/archives-and-history-research-guides/parish-registers/guide-to-parish-registers-held-at-surrey-history-centre.

To the east Shalford is bounded by St Martha, to the south east by Wonersh and Bramley. To the south-west is Godalming and Guildford St Nicolas is to the west. To the north are the three parishes of Guildford St Mary, Guildford Holy Trinity and Stoke Next Guildford.
