It has also several dissenting chapels and schools, the principal of which is erected on a foundation yielding L.400 per annum, and gives education to 130 children of both sexes, of whom 60 belong to Chertsey. It is the seat of a county court, and contains both a literary and an agricultural institute. Its principal trade is in farm produce for the London markets; but bricks are also made there to a considerable extent. It communicates directly with London by a branch of the South-Western railway. During the heptarchy Chertsey was the residence of the South Saxon kings. Near it was a famous Benedictine abbey, rebuilt by Edgar in 963, but destroyed at the Reformation. No remains of the abbey are now visible. Pop. (1851) 2743.
