'''Witley''' is a village in the [[civil parish]] of [[Witley and Milford]] in the [[Waverley (borough)|Waverley]] district in [[Surrey]], England centred {{convert|2.6|mi|0}} south west of the town of [[Godalming]] and {{convert|6.6|mi|0}} southwest of [[Guildford]]. The land is a mixture of rural (ranging from woodland protected by the [[Surrey Hills AONB]] including a small part of the forested [[Greensand Ridge]] to cultivated fields) contrasting with elements more closely resembling a suburban [[satellite village]]. In 2011 the parish had a population of 8130.
As a civil parish it is unusual in that it includes the small town of [[Milford, Surrey|Milford]] in the north. Occupying its hills in the south-west are [[Sandhills, Surrey|Sandhills]] and [[Brook, Surrey|Brook]]. On 1 April 2023 the parish was renamed from "Witley" to "Witley and Milford", at the same time part was moved to [[Haslemere]] and [[Peper Harow]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-03/the_waverley_borough_council_reorganisation_of_community_governance.pdf|title=The Waverley Borough Council (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Order 2023 |publisher=[[Local Government Boundary Commission for England]]|accessdate=4 August 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/surrey.html|title=Surrey Registration District|publisher=UKBMD|accessdate=4 August 2024}}</ref>
[[Witley Common]] is a wide expanse of land, owned by the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]], crossed by the [[A3 road (Great Britain)|A3 road]].  The village is served by two stations on the [[Portsmouth Direct Line]]: [[Witley railway station|Witley station]], to the south in nearby [[Wormley, Surrey|Wormley]], and, to the north, [[Milford railway station|Milford station]], which is more or less equidistant between Milford and Witley.  Its church dates to the pre-[[Norman Conquest]] period of the [[Kingdom of England]]. The village has the private sector, but charitable [[coeducation|co-educational]] boarding and day school [[King Edward's School, Witley|King Edward's School]] founded in Westminster in 1553 by [[Edward VI of England|King Edward VI]] and bishop [[Nicholas Ridley (martyr)|Nicholas Ridley]] &ndash; supported by the [[City of London Corporation]].
==History==
[[File:James Bourne sketchbook - circa 1820 - 04 - Whitley.jpg|thumb|Drawing of "Whitley" by James Bourne, circa 1820 ]]
Much of the history is described by way of its historical sites below.
Witley appears in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 as ''Witlei''. Its domesday assets were held by Gislebert (Gilbert), son of Richere de L'Aigle. It rendered: 12 [[hide (unit)|hide]]s; 1 church, 15 [[plough]]s, {{convert|3|acre|ha}} of [[meadow]], [[woodland]] worth 30 [[Pig|hog]]s, in the [[Godalming Hundred]] and rendered £16.<ref>[http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm Surrey Domesday Book] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071030192829/http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm |date=30 October 2007 }}</ref>
In 1848, [[Samuel Lewis (publisher)|Samuel Lewis]]'s "[[topography|topographical]] dictionary of England" describes Witley as {{quote|A parish, in the [[poor law union|union]] of Hambledon&nbsp;... containing 1488 inhabitants&nbsp;... situated on the road from [[Godalming]] to [[Petworth]], and comprises {{convert|6324|acres}}, of which {{convert|3150|acres}} are arable, {{convert|900|acres}} pasture, {{convert|1100|acres|km2}} wood, and {{convert|1174|acres|km2}} [[Waste of the manor|waste (infertile land)]]. A pleasure-fair is held on 23 April. The [[benefice|living]] is a discharged vicarage{{#tag:ref|The living of [[Aston Cantlow]] was of the same form; holders of land that was the [[glebe]] when it converted from a rectory may be liable for [[chancel repair liability]] if claimed by the church; they were in 1848 the impropriators listed by Lewis.|group= n}}, with that of [[Thursley]] annexed, valued in the [[Valor Ecclesiasticus|king's books]] at £17. 15. 10.; patron and incumbent, the {{Abbreviation|Rev.|Reverend}} J. Chandler; the great [[tithe]]s of Witley have been commuted for £13, and the small for £200. The church is a cruciform structure, principally in the early English style, with a central tower surmounted by a spire, and contains monuments to the Chandler and Webb families, and some ancient brasses. A district church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, was built at Milford in 1836: the [[advowson|living is in the gift of]] the Brodrick family. There is a place of worship for [[Calvinism|Calvinists]].}}
[[File:Harry Sutton Palmer - Witley (1906).JPG|thumb|1906 painting by [[Harold Sutton Palmer|Harry Sutton Palmer]] of the end of Church Lane]]
In 1911 historian and factfinder for the [[Victoria County Histories]] that turned to [[Surrey]] that year, H.E. Malden, wrote copiously about the [[advowson]], of minimal notability given general forfeiture in favour of each diocese appointing its own clergy &ndash; he wrote 1,857&nbsp;words about the church history with a layout plan.<ref name=malden>{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42930 |title=Parishes: Witley |editor=H.E. Malden |publisher=Institute of Historical Research |year=1911 |work=A History of the County of Surrey: Volume 3 |access-date=10 November 2012}}</ref> As to [[manorialism|manors]] which owned virtually all of the land in the medieval period, seven existed &ndash; of which three were senior as had nobility living in, or owning, them; Malden wrote 3,788 words, mostly of their ownership and centrepiece of each, the [[manor house]].<ref name=malden/> These senior manors are summarised below whereas the other four were ''Wytley Chesberies or Wytley Cheasburies Manor'', ''Mousehill Manor'', ''Rake Manor'' and ''Roke or Roakeland Manor''.<ref name=malden/>
===Witley Manor===
[[Godwin, Earl of Wessex|Earl Godwin]] (father of the last largely Anglo-Saxon king Harold Godwinson) is the first known [[lord of the manor]], albeit as ultimate overlord.{{clarify|date=February 2015}}  In 1086, it was held by Gilbert de Aquila, either the son or grandson of Engenulf de Aquila ([[L'Aigle family|L'Aigle]]), the only prominent Norman nobleman known to have been killed at [[Battle of Hastings|Hastings]].  Then Richer de Aquila forfeited his land to the crown for complicity in the rebellion of [[William Clito]] against the crown.  Malden reveals the legal term then used, one still used today, [[escheat]].
William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey, Gilbert's nephew by marriage, was granted it, who died in 1240.<ref>Morris, Marc, ''The Bigod Earls of Norfolk in the thirteenth century'', (The Boydell Press, 2005), 31.</ref> However, this was to no effect, as he gave it back.  It reverted to the King, who then granted it to Peter de Rivaulx, who similarly suffered a ''deprivation'' in 1234. In 1246 [[Gilbert Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke]] was awarded it, and surrendered it; then still termed part of the ''honour of Aquila'', [[Peter II, Count of Savoy|Peter of Savoy and later Earl of Richmond]], uncle of [[Eleanor of Provence|Queen Eleanor]], received this land; [[homage (feudal)|homage]] stopped, rents rose and, on the baronial victory in 1264, Peter of Savoy having fled from the country, this manor was briefly in the custody of [[Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford|Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford and Earl of Gloucester]].  After his success at [[Battle of Evesham|Evesham]] in 1264, Eleanor was seized, who granted the tenants a release from the oppressive exactions of her predecessor on condition that they should cause a yearly service to be held in Witley Church for the souls of her husband and of Peter of Savoy.<ref name=malden/>
[[Isabella of France|Queen Isabella]], Queen to [[Edward II of England]], surrendered it with her other lands in 1330 and it formed part of next Queen [[Philippa of Hainault]]'s dower in January 1330&ndash;31. After an intriguing further incidence of exhortation{{#tag:ref|See the original source for more details|group= n}}, many years later Sir Bryan Stapilton held it for life, followed by [[James Fiennes, 1st Baron Saye and Sele]], soldier and politician.  He was put to death during the Kentish rebellion of [[Jack Cade]], and the Manor passed to the King's brother [[Jasper Tudor]] (created Duke of Bedford, Earl of Pembroke); when the [[Wars of the Roses]] raged the [[Earl of Kent]] was awarded it, followed by the soon-to-be executed [[George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence]]. Then we see still more royal holding, with [[steward (office)|steward]]s Sir George Brown, Sir William Fitz William, Sir Anthony Browne and Henry VIII's server of the chamber, Thomas Jones. In 1551 new [[Baron Saye and Sele]] (dubious, per Malden) [[Edward Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln]] sold the estate to [[Richard Sackville (escheator)]] for Surrey, who made [[William More (died 1600)|William More of Loseley]] steward. [[Elizabeth I]] had it within her powers by the time of her accession to just grant the manor, possibly due to the internal wars of religion and Sir Francis Wolley (see his daughter [[Hannah Woolley]]), to Sir George More in 1605.  He later sold the park to Sir Edward More, and the title of the manor to Henry Bell of Rake manor.  After this time the manor was never again held by nobility.
===Lea Park known as Witley Park===
{{Main|Witley Park}}
The early history of Lea Park (renamed Witley Park during the 20th century) is entwined with that of Witley Manor. Specific frequent appointments to the office of keeper occur in the [[Patent Rolls]], sometimes in conjunction with that of Ashurst Park: in 1514, for example, to Thomas Jones and also to his son.<ref name=malden/> In 1656 Edward More, grandson of Sir Edward, sold it to Thomas Russell; it was probably already broken up into farms, and [[James Cecil, 4th Earl of Salisbury]] had half of it via marriage. By heirs expiring of the other [[moiety title|moiety]], [[James Cecil, 6th Earl of Salisbury]] received the remaining (as some is thought to have been sold off) whole of Lea park in 1730.  His son sold it to a William Smith of [[Godalming]] in 1791. Allen Chandler sold it to the [[Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby|Earl of Derby]] in 1876.<ref name=malden/> It was subsequently sold to [[Whitaker Wright]] (see below) for £250,000.<ref>{{cite web |title= Witley Park |publisher= Lost Heritage |url= http://www.lostheritage.org.uk/houses/lh_surrey_witleypark.html |access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref>
===Oxenford Grange===
[[File:Oxenford Grange Gate Lodge DSC 2139.jpg|thumb|Oxenford Grange Gate Lodge]]
This was within [[Peper Harow]] Park, but in the parish of Witley, and was early held by Richer de Aquila and subsequently his grandson heir Gilbert.  It was included in the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]] grant of [[Waverley Abbey]] to Sir William Fitz William, with which it descended to [[Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu]] who died seised of a ''messuage called Oxenford'', 9 October 1592. Similarly to the above, Sir George More of Loseley in 1609, Oxenford passed to Bartholomew Hone and heir John Chesterton of St. Giles in the Fields in 1619. In 1667 Antony Covert and his son conveyed their third to John Platt of Westbrook and his heirs; his son Sir John Platt and a John Smith sold it to prominent parliamentarian [[Denzil Holles, 1st Baron Holles]]; the other third was sold by the Fox family to [[George Brodrick, 4th Viscount Midleton]] c. 1822; his son employed [[Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin]] to build an imitation 13th century farm here.<ref name=malden/>

* All Saints' Church is built from surviving [[Anglo-Saxon England]] stonework{{cn|date=March 2020}} and later Norman architecture, demonstrating that the village has existed since at least [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxon]] times. The church building was transformed by the [[Normans]] and enlarged into a cruciform shape towards the end of the 12th century, when its tower was also erected. The church contains an inscribed stone, set in the chancel wall, bearing the name of the [[Duke of Clarence]] (see below), which is believed to be part of an unfinished memorial to one of his bailiffs.<ref>[http://www.allsaintswitley.org.uk All Saints (Church of England community website)]</ref><ref>[http://www.achurchnearyou.com/witley-all-saints/ The Church of England – All Saints Church, Witley]</ref> The church is a Grade I [[listed building]].<ref>All Saints, Witley – Grade I – {{National Heritage List for England|num=1260732|access-date=8 December 2013}}</ref> The graveyard has 13 war graves administered by the [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission|CWGC]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Witley All saints |url=https://facultyonline.churchofengland.org/CHR/ChurchDetails.aspx?id=5911#Home |website=Church of England |access-date=28 March 2020}}</ref>
* [[Witley Park]], the home of [[Whitaker Wright]], was built in the 1890s at a cost of £1.85&nbsp;million. It was one of the most lavish private residences in the world. The grounds included a series of three interconnecting lakes and an underwater billiard room. The main building burnt to the ground in 1953. Today the grounds and remaining buildings are private family homes.
* Old Cottage and Step Cottage, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, are close to the church.
* [[White hart#Witley|White Hart]], the village [[public house]], is mostly [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] and is said to stand on the site of a Saxon inn.
===Semaphore/Telegraph Station===
On Bannicle or Bannack Hill stood an Admiralty telegraph station which was built in 1822 as part of a [[semaphore line]] between the Admiralty in London and Portsmouth. It was about 30 yards east of Hill House,{{coord|51.1365|N|0.6588|W}} but no trace remains.<ref>[http://www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/GetRecord/SHHER_3504 Historic Environment RecordHER 3504 – Admiralty Telegraph Station circa 1822 (Site of)]</ref> [[William Cobbett]] in ''[[Rural Rides]]'', in which he pursues his hallmark restraint of empire and government views, referred to the station when travelling through the hills of [[Hambledon, Surrey|Hambledon]]. "On one of these hills is one of those precious jobs, called ''semaphores''. For what reason this pretty name is given to a sort of Telegraph house, stuck up at public expense upon a high hill; for what reason this outlandish name is given to the thing, I must leave the reader to guess; but as to the thing itself; I know that it means this; a pretence for giving a good sum of public away every year&nbsp;..."<ref>William Cobbett ''Rural Rides'' Penguin English Library 1967</ref>

[[Image:Waverley parishes.png|thumb|right|Witley Civil Parish within Waverley]]
Witley is a village and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in the [[Waverley (borough)|Borough of Waverley]] in Surrey {{convert|2.6|mi|0}} south west of [[Godalming]] and {{convert|6.6|mi|0}} southwest of the county town, [[Guildford]]. The village lies just east of the [[A3 road|A3]] from London to [[Portsmouth]] between [[Guildford]] and [[Petersfield]]; London is {{convert|33.5|mi}} northeast as the crow flies.<ref>[http://www.gridreferencefinder.com Grid reference Finder measurement tools]</ref>
Witley Civil Parish contains the large village of [[Milford, Surrey|Milford]] (arguably a small town to the north, which also has the next railway station on the line to London, however, which is closer to Wheelerstreet and Witley historic village along than to Milford){{#tag:ref|Milford Station has direct access from Wheelerstreet along Rake Lane and from Witley along a straight track behind the school and beside the railway|group= n}}  and the localities set out in this article, all of which, apart from Culmer, Wormley, Sandhills and Brook are [[wikt:contiguous|contiguous]], linked by unbroken paved roads and development forming a wide arc surrounded by Witley Common or by the Witley Stream, Enton lakes and ponds.<ref>[http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/mapsearch.aspx Map] created by [[Ordnance Survey]], courtesy of [[English Heritage]]</ref> The census area Waverley Middle Layer Super Output Area 12 (which excludes Milford but adds most of [[Hambledon, Surrey|Hambledon]], [[Thursley]] and [[Hascombe]]) gives a population of 6,619 in 2001, whereas the civil parish had a population of 7,703.<ref name=census>[http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk UK Census search by Waverley Middle Layer Super Output Area 12 and by Parish]</ref> If the population of Thursley CP (654) is subtracted and those of Hascombe (241) and Hambledon CPs (765) from Area 12, Witley's habitually resident population, excluding the major settlement of Milford stood at 4,959.
Witley civil parish council has a website with sections for Witley and Milford. It consists of 16 councillors; unpaid as with all civil parishes, and the rest of Waverley is likewise entirely ''parished'', each parish charging a small annual precept on [[council tax]].<ref>[http://www.witleypc.co.uk/council.php Witley Parish Council]</ref> Among their tasks are the management of the recreation ground, 43 allotments, upkeep of village halls and organisation of annual community events.
===Witley Common===
{{main|Witley Common}}
Witley Common, which belongs to the National Trust, directly adjoins many localities of the village.<ref>[http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-witleycommoninfocentre/ National Trust]</ref>  It is bisected by the [[A3 road|A3]] dual carriageway.
