A picture of Ash

Hartshorn, a 14th century timber-framed, open-hall house, on Ash Church Road, was originally a church house for the priest of nearby St Peter’s Church. After Henry VIII dissolved Chertsey Abbey, which had held Ash, the building became an inn, the White Hart, part of the Poyle estate. The White Hart purportedly was a haunt of the highwayman Jeremiah Abershaw, hanged in 1795. The building subsequently became a private residence. Thomas Morris and his wife, Mary, lived there; both died in 1835 and are buried in St. Peter’s churchyard. (Photo taken 22 Dec. 2003) Ash, Surrey.
