Historical Notes

- Merrilyn (previously called Caerleon, and before that Ivy Cottage), Red Lane. The main part of this old farmhouse was built in the sixteenth century with additions in the eighteenth century. Arguably, Merrilyn and Slough Farmhouse are Claygate's two oldest properties.


Housing built from 1885 to the outbreak of World War I was located mainly along the northern ends of Vale Road and Coverts Road, along parts of Red Lane, Common Road, in particular the brickfield workers' cottages near 'The Griffin', and towards the southern end of Oaken Lane. Half a dozen houses were also built on the south side of the western end of Red Lane which was then renamed St Leonards Road (not St. Leonard's Road, as is sometimes incorrectly stated) after Lord St Leonards; he became Lord High Chancellor of England in 1852 and lived at Boyle Farm, Thames Ditton.
