About Great Bookham

Great Bookham breathes the settled air of Surrey, a place where ancient roots intertwine with the quiet hum of modern life. It lies 3.5 km west-south-west of Leatherhead (from Leatherhead: bearing 238°T, OS grid TQ 134 545), and is situated east-south-east of Little Bookham village. The landscape surrounding Great Bookham, part of the Mole Valley, offers a gentle topography, its chalk downs hinting at the broader beauty of the North Downs AONB. The village itself possesses a tranquil character, the village green a wide, welcoming expanse where shadows lengthen with the afternoon sun, and the ancient parish church of St. Nicholas, with its Norman traces, stands as a quiet sentinel. Historically, Great Bookham was a place of agriculture, its fields yielding their produce for centuries, a legacy still felt in the surrounding countryside's arable patterns. The proximity to larger centres has allowed Great Bookham to retain a sense of its own identity, a peaceful haven for those who appreciate the subtle charms of rural life within easy reach of urban amenities.
