Crown Court, Godalming

Crown Court is named after a row of cottages, formerly standing near here, which were demolished in 1950 to link the town's first public car park with the High Street. Wool was the foundation of Godalming's propserity in the 16th Century, the period of the timber-framed buildings now joined by the arch, itself made from old materials. The brick built shops across the road are early 19th Century.
