History
The earliest record of Molesey occurs in a land survey of the 7th Century with a reference to estates at 'Muleseg'. The derivation of the name suggests that it was originally an island or meadow belonging to someone called Mul. King Henry VIII's palace at Hampton Court raised the status of the area. The construction of a series of bridges from the mid 18th century, followed by the opening of the railway in 1849 greatly improved links to London and so Molesey grew to the area we recognise today.
