as someone that manifest, I was watching the movie "The Holiday," I told myself "someday I would visit this small town "somewhere in Surrey." Less than a year later I attended a wedding in Godalming from Los Angeles. I stayed at my friends place whom I had NO idea even the town she moved to. That said, it was where the film was made. The "grocery store" made from the art gallery was just below our feet. High Street? I remember the chills but more so the fact that I knew my life was where I was meant to be.

Live in Guildford, it's amazing!

You missed out Godalming's most famous resident, the climber George Mallory, he lived in Godalming before he went to climb Mount Everest in 1924, they even found his body in 1999 and he was wearing clothes he had bought in Goldalming's clothes shops

Music way too loud. Could hear half of what you were narrating 😢

Farnham? & who do the people of Farnham actually support during elections ? Amazing! Got to be a bunch of weirdos

Corrections: The 'Last Public Hanging' refers not to official hangings in general, but to hangings IN public, that is in a public place, outside a Prison or similar, where anyone can attend. The last hangings in the UK in 1964 were both in Private, in two Prisons, with only the Prisoner, Executioners, Guards and the Chaplin present. And only one of the the 1964 hangings occurred in Liverpool, one occurred in Manchester. They were simultaneous as both men were executed for the same murder, that of Truck Driver John Alan West. Other random Godalming 'stuff': There used to be a Jacobite Fortress overlooking the town, on the hill at Westbrook. A Jacobite supporter had defences added to he large house, fragments of one tower still exist. The peaceful, narrow, High Street used to carry all the traffic through the town. It may seem obvious but until the bypass was built it was nose-to-tail traffic both ways. More ancient buildings can be found if you walk south of the town centre, toward Milford, down Ockford Road. The Church used to have it's own Manor, complete with pound for escaped animals. The larger Manor was the Kings Manor, based at the other end of town and much larger. This separation is eveident in Doesday. If you walk out of the town for a mile or so you will reach Eashing, with an ancient mill, two Medieval bridges and the (not very evident) Saxon Burgh which was the local anti-Viking defence until the location of the Burgh was moved to Guildford. In the Domesday Book Godalming is listed as having two churches. The second church was up the hill at Tuesley, between the hamlet of that name and Godalming. All that can be seen today are some markers on the ground in a field but it was once a Monastery - hence Minster Road in Busbridge. Godalming Railway Station is the second station in the town - the first was across the river, the current one was built when the line was extended to Portsmouth - which resulted in a Railway Battle at Havant. The Borough Hall has a Cold War Civil Defence Bunker under it.

One of the (many)reasons that Godalming looks so nice is the liberal use of block paving with minimum tarmac! I hate tarmac especially when it ages.

I really enjoyed this! Found my way in Guildford and now I know where to visit.

Brilliant video. I'm from Godalming.

Thank you for sharing 😊

Thanks, chaps ... I lived at 3 St Catherine's Hill in the late 90s for a little while, so this was a lovely walk down memory lane. Waking up and looking out the bedroom window to see that chapel never got old (extra delicious in snow) and even after 10 years in England, it felt very exotic (I'm Australian). I quite often walked the towpath into town to get the train to work in the big smoke, and it was always a great start to the day. I slid down the golden sands hill on my bum a few times and certainly made the most of the proximity to the Olde Ship Inn. I would often buy a pint and carry it home (45-second walk) to enjoy in the living room.

Great video lads. Last public hanging in the UK was 1868. The 1964 one was Manchester as well as Liverpool and took place within prison grounds. I lived in Godalming in 1978 and drank in The Star Inn where regulars included Peter Sellers, Nina Fredrick, Terry Scott, Joe Brown, David Jacobs and, famously, Roger Moore who having had too much to drink was offered a bed there. The then landlord Tom, found him at the foot of the stairs 'Like a bag of wet chickens'.

I grew up there in the 60s/70s, my father taught at Charterhouse and my mother became the mayor and I became the town Punk Rocker!

Nice place

When I was a child,1(940s and 50s), the ferry was still in operation and there was a tea garden (café) overlooking it.

My Dad played the organ in St. Peter and St. Paul for around 25 years and our house looked over the Lammas Lands towards the church. We played as boys at the gun emplacement / pillbox on Chalk Road at the railway bridge. Happy memories.

Born in Guildford in Mount Alvernia Nursing Home, attended Holy Trinity C of E primary school, then RGS. Lived Bushy Hill Drive in Merrow. Left in 1965 for Melbourne 🇦🇺I hope to visit before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Thank you for the great video and history of the place, it inspired me to go visit tomorrow, I’m in Woking and didn’t know such an amazing place existed 😊

loved your video

Nice video for a lovely town. Lived there for 4 years, among the happiest of my life and still go back to visit occasionally

Another good vlog..

Good job guys..

saw your video on another channel and now I m subscribing from beautiful Pakistan

I saw this video on Film Booth!

I grew up there its nice to see how it is now. Although i am sure it was god helms ford not field

Visit Guildford’s workhouse Spike see what they did when you couldn’t afford to live there And you’ve tactfully avoided North Street but at the weekend it has a brilliant market well worthy of a mention

I went to a boarding school, Pierrepont School, back in 1970s, I wonder if it is still there.

I grew up in Godalming (60s-80s) before moving to London... but you can never really leave Godalming.... it always draws you back. It's a fantastic town that I love returning to when given the chance and a town worthy of a Part 2 video as there is so much more to discover. One tidbit of trivia... your opening shot looking across the flood plain towards Phillips Memorial and the Church is where Kirsty McColl's "Days" video was shot. ua-cam.com/video/HNJcd1pTaL0/v-deo.html

Guildford is idiot central. Rammed to the rafters with materialistic, clueless, private school-types

One of the very best bass players comes from Godalming - JEAN JACQUES BURNEL from The Stranglers

You guys did such a good job! I remember seeing you both film this video from my workplace. You have a new subscriber. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

ua-cam.com/video/JwE1tngRh28/v-deo.html not to compare with yours. Simply for interest. They were beneath your video when I was watching it (I was scrolling).
