A guide to Churches and Graveyards in Surrey for family historians

Historic Surrey stretched from the River Thames in the north to Haselmere, Charlwood and Lowfield Heath in the south and from Penge in the east to Farnham in the west. With the creation of the London County Council in 1889 the northern parishes of Historic Surrey became part of the London County Council area. Further parishes were absorbed into Greater London in 1965, and Lowfield Heath was transferred to Sussex in 1974 (it's inside Gatwick Airport).
