  • Surrey's Oldest Known Human Inhabitant

    The skull of Surrey's oldest known human inhabitant was found buried at Shepperton henge. The skull was believed to be 3,000 years old.

    A clay head was reconstructed from the skull by forensic scientists and exhibited at Surrey History Centre in 2002.

    Although there is archeological evidence that Mesolithic pit dwellers were believed to inhabit Surrey around Farnham 8,000 years ago, no human remains have been found in the area.

  • Surrey has some of the Oldest Things ...

    I decided to write this blog because I recently discovered that Surrey is not only one of the most, if not the most, beautiful counties in England, but has a remarkable number of things claiming to be the "oldest".

    Sometimes "oldest" means not just in Surrey, but in England, Britain or even The World! I hope to highlight some of the more interesting items as I do my best to verify their claims.

    Please let me know if you spot any errors.
