About Caterham

The rolling chalk downs that frame Caterham have long shaped its character, offering a verdant backdrop to its development. It lies 3.5 km south-south-west of Warlingham (from Warlingham: bearing 207°T, OS grid TQ 340 553), and is situated south-west of Woldingham Garden Village village. Historically, Caterham's economy was rooted in agriculture, with its proximity to London eventually fostering a commuter town identity. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century was a pivotal moment, transforming it from a rural hamlet into a more accessible suburban centre with a growing commercial base. Caterham boasts a rich cultural tapestry, evident in its community spirit and local events. While not home to globally renowned institutions, Caterham School, a prominent independent boarding school, has educated many notable individuals. The town's landscape is punctuated by attractive residential areas and green spaces, reflecting its appeal as a place to live. The presence of St. John's Church, a significant local landmark, speaks to Caterham's enduring community life and historical roots.
