About Fencing in Epsom

Epsom in Surrey owes its name to one of the world's best known health remedies, discovered around 1618 when a farmer named Henry Wicker, tending his cows on Epsom Common during a dry summer, noticed the water there was rich in magnesium sulphate, the compound that became known worldwide as Epsom salts. The discovery turned Epsom into one of Britain's earliest spa towns, and by the early 18th century, under a new Lord of the Manor named John Parkhurst, the wells had been upgraded with a grand brick built pump room alongside a coffee house, gaming rooms and bowling greens to entertain fashionable Georgian visitors. When interest in the spa waned in the early 18th century, horse racing stepped in to fill the gap, and the establishment of the Derby in 1780, more than 150 years after the salts were first discovered, gave Epsom the racing fame that still defines the town today.
