Eashing

Eashing

Eashing is a small village in Surrey a couple of miles outside Godalming and was once part of the Godalming (hundred) but is now administered by Guildford Borough Council. The village is divided into Upper and Lower Eashing. During the reign of King Alfred the Great a "burgh" was constructed at Upper Eashing as a defensive point to resist Viking attacks. Lower Eashing has an ancient bridge over the River Wey which was constructed in the 14th century by monks from Waverley Abbey.
