Burpham, Surrey
Burpham /ˈbɜːrfəm/ is a suburb of Guildford, a town in Surrey, England with an historic village centre. It includes George Abbot School, a parade of small shops, and the nationally recognised Sutherland Memorial Park.
Burpham is bordered by the neighbourhoods of Merrow to the south-east and Jacobs Well to the north-west. Burpham is separated from Merrow by the New Guildford Line, the railway line between Guildford and Effingham Junction.
Burpham appears in Domesday Book as Borham. It was held partly by Turald (Thorold) from Roger de Montgomery and by Godfric from Thurold. Its domesday assets were: 3 hides; one mill worth 15s, 6½ ploughs, 25 acres (10 ha) of meadow, woodland worth 83 hogs. It rendered £8.
It was, until the consecration of its church, known as the manor of Burpham or Burgham in Worplesdon Its owner in the 13th century was Thurstan le Despenser and it then passed through the Wintershull (by release), Bassett, Unwyn, Wolley, Mainwaring, and finally Wyrley families by relatives. By marriage its owner became Robert Wroth, MP for Guildford in 1704, 1707 and 1714, who died in 1720.
From 1720 the owner of the Manor was Baron Onslow, whose title was elevated to an Earldom from a Barony in the early nineteenth century and who were frequent MPs for Guildford.
Lilac Cottage, co-listed with New Inn Farmhouse, a 17th-century building on London Road with modern extensions and Pimms Row are the listed buildings in the area, with two more in Abbotswood.
Within its bounds are a Sainsbury's superstore, the Surrey County Cricket Centre, two Church of England churches, a police station, a council offices building, a long parade of shops on London Road, a pub, the Anchor and Horseshoes, and in its eastern straight border woodland and to the north-east the working farm of Gosden Hill Farm, partly in the Clandon civil parish and village. The shopping parade incorporates a rare Edward VIII pillar box.
The Church of St Luke is a Grade II listed building. The church is an ornate nineteenth century work built in 1859 designed by Henry Woodyer fronting the northwest of Sutherland Memorial Park and by a primary school. The war memorial, in front of the church, is also Grade II listed.
