History of Surrey Heath
Although Surrey Heath is now a thriving, modern Borough its origins lie back in the mists of history. The heathland itself is thought to derive from over-grazing in Neolithic times and indeed, evidence of Neolithic activity has been found in Bagshot, Lightwater and Frimley, whilst there are Bronze Age burial-mounds in West End. Excavations in Lightwater have also revealed a Romano-British site which continued to be occupied into the Saxon period.
