Activities, events, history and interests... The village of Headley (meaning 'clearing in the heath') stands on high ground above a loop of the Southern River Wey.
The oldest of three villages in the south of England of that name, it has gone through a number of name spellings, but was noted in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Hallege', at which time Eustace II, Count of Boulogne was tenant-in-chief and Lord. In 1066, Earl Godwin held it.
