  Home to mesolithic pit-dwellers, Romans and then Saxons who gave it its name. In Saxon times the manor became the property of the bishops of Winchester and in the early 12th century the grandson of William the Conqueror built the castle which has been home to 53 bishops. There is not a better author alive to write a history of Surrey's most western town, and make it interesting ... there is something for everyone. Surrey Advertiser
