About Fencing in Leatherhead
Leatherhead in Surrey traces its origins to around 880 AD, when it was known as Leodridan, likely meaning people's river crossing, reflecting its position at a natural ford on the River Mole. The town was an important administrative centre for the county in medieval times, serving as the seat of the sheriff's court before the end of Henry III's reign, and parts of its parish church of St Mary and St Nicholas still date back to the eleventh century.
