Background
History
The manor of Wrecclesham was an estate of Henry of Westminster and Blois, a powerful 13th-century bishop who owned most of the farmland, in what was then Farnham and soon became the linked parishes of Farnham and Frensham in the Farnham Hundred. Farnham remains part of the address for Wrecclesham, as its post town. In 1840 Wrecclesham became a village in its own right, when its first parish church was built, and is now a civil parish.
