A brief history of Chalk Lane Hotel
Epsom became well known as a spa area after magnesium sulphate was found in the local spring in the 1620's and it became a popular retreat for Londoners who wanted to relax and benefit from the medicinal waters. Epsom also became popular with the establishment of the racecourse at Epsom Downs, the first race being run in 1780 and the grandstand later being constructed in 1830.
Many prestigious houses were built during this period of spa town popularity and today many of the houses in this important conservation area are grade ll listed and noticeable by their high brick walls and wrought iron gates.
Chalk Lane Hotel which is now a complex of buildings originated in 18th century as a two story five bay house with a number of additions over the years and is hidden away in this delightful picturesque leafy corner of old Epsom typified by its narrow country lanes.
