The Tatsfield History Project was originally set up to publish our history of the parish - Tatsfield,
The First 2000 Years. This book is now out of print. Copies can, however, be borrowed from Surrey
County Council libraries under the reference: LOC 942.2TAT.
Information about the history of Tatsfield is also available at the North Tandridge Local History Centre
in Caterham.
The Surrey History Centre can provide more information online, as can the National Archives.
The first documented reference to Tatsfield was in the Domesday Book.
Future plans:
The Tatsfield History Project continues. If you have lived in or near Tatsfield, or have any background information, photographs or any other material which you think might interest us, please get in touch through the email address below or by leaving a telephone message on +44 1959 577376. We are particularly interested in any deeds relating to sales of property in Tatsfield between 1830 and 1870 and in any reference to the "London Alps Company"
We are aware of only one other “Tatsfield”. This was a railway hamlet in the electoral district of The Battlefords, Saskatchewan, Canada from about 1910 until 1950. That Tatsfield had a Post Office from 1920 until 1951. It was later renamed Wardenville.
What we seek now is information about who it was from the original Tatsfield that gave the Canadian settlement its name.
Archives:
The Tatsfield History Project has transcribed relevant details from 19th century census returns and directories.
We are now able to respond relatively quickly to email searches for Tatsfield names. (Please include ‘Looking for a Tatsfield name’ in the subject line to avoid your email being consigned accidently to the ‘spam’ bin.)
