SHRUB HILL AND THE SURREY YEOMAN This area north of the High Street was developed in the late 19th century on grounds belonging to Shrub Hill,a mansion on the opposite side of the road. It had belonged to Lady Elizabeth Wathen, daughter of the Earl of Rothes, Colonel of the Surrey Yeomanry. In his honour the public house adjoining the estate adopted the name of the Surrey Yeoman.
