Surrey History Centre – Dedicated to Preserving the County’s Heritage.

I greatly enjoyed visiting the Surrey History Centre in Woking with my wife, Suzanne on May 6^th. It was fascinating to learn how much of the County’s important records and artifacts are catalogued, archived and in some cases meticulously restored here. We were shown round by Dr David Taylor, Chairman of the Surrey History Trust, Mike Page, County Archivist; and Julian Pooley, Public Services and Engagement Manager. We also had the pleasure of meeting Gary Topp, Director of Painshill Park Trust who was being shown some of the records held on Painshill Park.

We were also able to review a number of documents relating to and written by past High Sheriffs dating back many years and still in a remarkably good state of preservation thanks to the dedication of the team at the Surrey History Centre.
