Boundaries


1832-1885: The Hundreds of Blackheath, Copthorne, Effingham, Elmbridge, Farnham, Godalming, Godley and Chertsey, Woking and Wotton.[1]


The constituency was therefore the more extensive and more rural of the two divisions of Surrey established in 1832; Its main existing towns were urbanising with railway stations: Woking became a town towards the end of its existence. Elections were conducted at Guildford; other most populous towns comprised Leatherhead, Dorking, Epsom, Ewell, Farnham, Godalming, Haslemere, Chertsey, Egham, Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and Woking. (Guildford was a borough returning Members of Parliament in its own right, but freeholders within the borough boundaries could, nevertheless, vote for the county division if they did not qualify for a vote in the borough.)



Subdivision in 1885



On its abolition in 1885, what remained of West Surrey, land and populations having been taken away to contribute over half of Mid Surrey in 1868, was divided into two new single-member constituencies:



  • The North-Western division of Surrey or Chertsey

  • The South-Western division of Surrey or Guildford
