Weybourne is a small village in Surrey, England. It lies on the outskirts of Farnham, Surrey and borders onto Aldershot, Hampshire.

Past Residents

Pioneering motorist and auto-mobile manufacturer John Henry Knight lived in Weybourne House, before moving to Barfield in Runfold, Farnham. He designed and built "The first petroleum carriage for two people made in England" {{r|NaMoMu}}

As a child, the singer Vera Lynn stayed with an aunt in the village every summer until the start of World War II.[2]

Actress Jessie Matthews once lived in Weybourne Road, Weybourne.[3]

English Rugby Player Jonny Wilkinson attended William Cobbett Junior School and Weybourne Infant School.[4]

Housing

The central village comprises housing from the mid to late Victorian period, mainly along Weybourne Road. This includes The Old School House, built originally in the late nineteenth century as a Sunday School, then used as a local school. The school bell is still intact, although moved to the side of the building. The School House is now a private dwelling. There is Local Authority Housing from the 1940s and 1950s off Upper Weybourne Lane, and additional private housing was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s off Lower Weybourne Lane and Upper Weybourne Lane. Housing has been added sporadically since, with residential flats and some smaller housing developments in the 1980s and early 1990s. Towards the edge of the village, near the border with Aldershot, the housing changes in character with housing from the 1920s and 1930s being more prevalent.
