A Short But Interesting History of Epsom
Epsom was once an Anglo-Saxon settlement that later appeared in the 1086 Domesday Book as “Evesham”, then held by Chertsey Abbey. By the Georgian era, it had become a popular spa town due to its association with so-called Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate).
This was originally prepared by boiling waters from the surrounding area. It is now better known for an Afternoon Tea near Epsom.
