Historical Description

Carshalton, anciently Aulton, which signifies Old Town. In the reign of King John it assumed the name of Kersaulton, but for nearly two centuries past has been uniformly called Carshalton.

The river Wandle passes through this parish, and being increased by other streams and several springs, which rise here, forms a large sheet of remarkably clear water in the centre of the village, which gives it a singular, and in summer a very pleasing appearance. Carshalton is celebrated by Fuller for trout and walnuts.

Carshalton is highly picturesque, a profusion of stately oaks, ash, beech, walnut, elm, fir, &c. perfectly embower it, while its broad stream in the centre of the village gives it the appearance of a small lake.

Mr. Taylor, the present proprietor of Carshalton Park, possesses one of the pleasantest spots in this part of the country. One of the heads of the Wandle takes its rise in the upper part of the park; and this is formed of a variety of materials, to imitate a grotto. The Wandle here appears to issue from a deep bed of chalk rock, forming a large circular pool, in a cavern, from whence arise a variety of trees, and around their roots and stems are seen the best trout of the pool, sailing in silent majesty.

Mr. Taylor’s mansion, at the entrance of the park, is a plain white stuccoed house of the Tuscan order, with every convenience attached to it.

Carshalton House is the seat of William Reynolds, Esq., and was built by the celebrated physician Dr. Ratcliffe, in the reign of Queen Anne. It is a large roomy building, of remarkably strong workmanship, three stories high, with eleven windows on each floor, in front: the principal entrance is ascended by a flight of stone steps; the private one is through a pavilion on the right-hand side of the house. In this house Dr. Ratcliffe died, in November, 1714.

Here, as well as at Carshalton Park, a considerable spring rises, forming a spacious sheet of water, abundantly stocked with trout and wild fowl. The water-works in the grounds here supply every part of the house with water.

There are two good inns at Carshalton, the Greyhound and the King’s Arms: the latter is one of the pleasantest in the county, and the accommodations are suitable to the sportsmen in the vicinity, &c. Here is stabling for forty hunters, with conveniences for grooms, excellent beds and spacious sitting rooms. To this house a weekly report is sent where and when the different packs of hounds throw off; among which are Lord Derby’s stag-hounds, at the Oaks; Mr. Maberley’s foxhounds; Mr. Jolliffe’s, at Merstham; Mrs. Gee’s harriers, at Beddington; and the Banstead harriers, kept by subscription among the farmers.

The Oaks, the celebrated villa of the Earl of Derby, is situated on Banstead Downs, between Croydon and Dorking. The red hall entrance is small, but elegant: the drawing-room commands a view of Norwood, Shooter’s Hill, London, Hampstead, Highgate, &c. When Lord Derby acquired a fee-simple of the estate, he added, at the west end, a large brick building, with four towers at the west end, which, with a similar erection at the east end, renders the building uniform.

The Oaks has long been conspicuous as a hunting seat. Here are upwards of fifty bed-chambers, to accommodate sportsmen or other guests, and a pack of stag-hounds belongs to the establishment. When the Earl of Derby is occasionally absent at his seat in Lancashire, some of the younger branches of this noble family are always present at the Oaks, to do the honours of the place.

Carshalton Church is an ancient structure, supposed to have been erected in the reign of Richard II. It consists of a nave, two aisles, and a chancel: the aisles are divided from the nave by ancient pillars of rude workmanship, and not uniform; their capitals are ornamented with feathers and foliage. The church appears to have been originally built of flints. The tower, which is low and embattled, is situated between the chancel and the nave: the upper part of it is built of freestone. In this church are several ancient monuments and memorials: against the north wall of the chancel, near the communion table, is an altar tomb of" Purbeck marble; above is a large slab of the same marble, on which are upright figures of Nicholas Gaynesford and his family. These figures have been gilded and enamelled; the enamel in which the drapery of the wife has been painted, still remains, which is a circumstance rarely to be met with in tombs of this kind. Her head-dress, remarkable for its extraordinary size, corresponds with other specimens of the same date; her robe, which has close sleeves, is of red, edged with gold: of the four sons, the eldest appears in armour, as the esquire; the second is habited as a priest, and the third and fourth as merchants. Gaynesford himself appears in armour, kneeling on one knee, his gauntlet and sword are at his feet.

Against the south wall of the chancel is the following singular inscription, to the memory of William Quelch, a former vicar of this parish:

"M S.

Under the middle stone that guards the ashes of a certain fryer, sometime vicar of this place, is raked up the dust of William Quelch, B. D. who ministered in the same since the Reformation. His lot was, through God’s mercy, to burn incense here about thirty years, and ended his course April the 10th, Anno Dom. 1654, being aged 64 years."
