The town of Guildford has a rich history dating back to the times of Alfred the Great, as evidenced by the oldest recorded mention of the settlement in his will from around 1000 AD. The name “Guildford” is believed to have originated from the Old English word “gylde” meaning gold, possibly referring to the yellow sand in the area or the concentration of yellow flowers. The second part of the name, “ford,” refers to the crossing of the River Wey. Over the centuries, the name of the town changed from Gyldeforda to Gildeford, Guldeford, and Guildeford, finally settling as Guildford. The River Wey Navigation was opened in 1653, which helped to transport goods and materials to new markets in London, leading to further investment and growth in the town. The arrival of the railway in the 1840s and the establishment of the University of Surrey in 1966 further cemented Guildford’s status as a thriving town with a rich history and culture.
