a town of Surrey, in England, seated on the edge of the county next Hampshire, 43 miles from London, is an ancient place, and was once destroyed by the Danes. It is a borough by prescription, and has sent members to parliament ever since the reign of Edward IV. who are chosen by a bailiff and burgage-teeners. It is said to have had seven parish-churches formerly, though but one church now, which is a chapel of ease to Chiddingfold; and that it stood heretofore upon a hill more to the south than the present town. Population 756 in 1811.
