'''Send''' is a [[villages in the United Kingdom|village]] and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in the [[Guildford (borough)|Guildford borough]] of the [[English county]] of [[Surrey]]. The name is thought to mean "sandy place" and sand was extracted at various periods until the 1990s at pits in the outskirts of the parish.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dines |first1=HG |last2=Edmunds |first2=FH |last3=Chatwin |first3=CP |year=1929 |title=The geology of the country around Aldershot and Guildford : Explanation of one-inch geological sheet 286, new series |url=https://pubs.bgs.ac.uk/publications.html?pubID=B01672 |location=London |publisher=British Geological Survey |access-date=23 May 2022 |archive-date=2 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602213901/https://pubs.bgs.ac.uk/publications.html?pubID=B01672 |url-status=live |pages=140–141 }}</ref>

Send is [[buffer zone|buffered]] by [[Metropolitan Green Belt]] from other villages and towns except for the Grove Heath neighbourhood of [[Ripley, Surrey|Ripley]]. A rural band of the village adjoins the [[River Wey]] including '''Cartbridge''' and '''Send Marsh''' – this land has been drained and the river tamed by sluices, the '''Broadmead Cut''' and the [[Wey and Godalming Navigations|Wey Navigation]].  The vast majority of the built-up areas are not within an area of flood risk. Between the river and the navigation, in the far north of the parish, are the [[Papercourt]] and Broad Mead [[Site of Special Scientific Interest|SSSIs]].

==History==
The first record of Send is from a 1063 copy of a survey from {{circa|960}}, in which the settlement appears as ''Sendan''. Throughout the middle ages, it is recorded as ''Sande'', ''Saunde'' and ''Sonde''. The name is thought to derive from the [[Old English]] {{Non breaking hyphen}}''sænde'' indicating a sandy place.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gover |first1=J.E.B |last2=Mawer |first2=A. |author-link2=Allen Mawer |last3=Stenton |first3=F.M. |author-link3=Frank Stenton |year=1934 |title=The place-names of Surrey |location=Cambridge |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=146}}</ref>

Send appears in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 as ''Sande''. It was held by Rainald (Reginald) from Alvred de Merleburgh ([[Marlborough, Wiltshire|Marlborough]]). Its Domesday assets were: 20 [[hide (unit)|hide]]s; 1 church, 10 [[plough]]s, 2 [[Mill (grinding)|mill]]s worth £1 3s 6d, 5 [[fishery|fisheries]] worth 4s 6d, {{convert|84|acre|ha}} of [[meadow]], [[woodland]] for 160 [[hog (swine)|hog]]s. It rendered £15 10s 0d per year to its overlords.<ref>[http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm Surrey Domesday Book] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071030192829/http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm |date=30 October 2007}}</ref> In this case the [[lord of the manor|manorial lords]] were simply recorded as Herbert; Reginald son of Erchenbald; and Walter, seemingly [[Anglo-Saxon England|Anglo-Saxon]]. It was held at the time of the [[Norman Conquest]] by Karli of Norton.<ref>[http://www.domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TQ0255/send/ Domesday Map] Retrieved 24 October 2013</ref><ref >{{cite web |url= https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0255/send/ |title= Send |last=Powell-Smith |first= Anna |year=2011 |publisher=Open Domesday |access-date= 3 September 2023 }}</ref>

{{clear-left}}
The parish saw a little-known skirmish. On 14 June 1497 the [[Cornish Rebellion of 1497|first Cornish Rebellion]] was launched against [[Henry VII of England|Henry VII]]; the rebels were marching from [[Cornwall]] to Kent unbeknown to the King, and after passing [[Guildford]] they had a skirmish with some of the outposted royal troops on the road from Guildford to London. The troops fell back or were outmanoeuvred, for they had lost the rebels on the 16th and were looking for them on the [[Portsmouth Road]] again near Kingston when they were actually on the border of Kent. Old maps mark the place where the road crosses the stream which joins the Wey near Send as St. Thomas's Waterings.<ref name=malden/>

Ripley was, at the time of the Domesday Book, a [[hamlet (place)|hamlet]] of Send. In 1878 Ripley gained its own parish. The earliest official record, such as a [[Patent Roll]], revealing its [[Manorialism|manor]]'s existence is in 1279. Growth in ambition of the local nobility coupled with a large enough population led to the first place of worship being built at Ripley, to become a [[chapelry]] to [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|St Mary the Virgin]], around the year 1160.<ref name=malden/>

[[Brickmaking|Brickfield]]s were developed in the south of Send by the 1870s, and continued to be worked until at least 1911.<ref name=malden/>

The [[Leese baronets]] "[[territorial designation|of Sendholme]] in Send in the County of Surrey", who lived at the large house of that name in the village, bore a title created in 1908 for [[Joseph Leese]], [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] Member of Parliament for [[Accrington (UK Parliament constituency)|Accrington]] from 1892 to 1910. The third Baronet was a [[Lieutenant-General]] in the [[Coldstream Guards]] and served as Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Land Forces in South-East Asia from 1944 to 1945 and as General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Command from 1945 to 1946.

Send was the base of the defunct 1950s [[Formula One]] and [[sports car]] constructor [[Connaught Engineering]].

==Geography and transport==
Send is a [[dispersed settlement|lightly dispersed village]] centred {{convert|23|mi|km}} south-west from [[Charing Cross]] and {{convert|6|mi|km}} south-west of junction 10 of the [[M25 motorway|M25]]<ref>[http://gridreferencefinder.com/ Grid Reference Finder] distance tools</ref> and has a [[nucleated village|developed clustered centre]] on the old course of the [[Portsmouth Road]] which bisects the highest settled part of the village, Burntcommon, which is on the start of rise of the [[London Clay]].<ref name=malden/> This road was relieved by the construction of a six-lane bypass, part of the [[A3 road|A3 trunk road]], which now forms the long south-east border of the village. The other principal road is the [[A roads in Zone 2 of the Great Britain numbering scheme|A247]] Woking to West Clandon road which passes through the village from north to south.

The parish is bounded to the west and part of its northern side by the River Wey, which is controlled by sluices and has been expanded in capacity by a navigable channel running alongside, the Wey Navigation.

The nearest railway stations are at [[Clandon railway station|West Clandon]], on the [[New Guildford Line]], and [[Woking railway station|Woking]], on the [[South West Main Line]], which offer frequent fast and semi-fast services to London.

White Bus Services operate irregular routes 462 and 463 through Send village between Woking and Guildford,<ref>{{Cite web| title=462 {{!}} 463 - Road Map | url=https://www.whitebus.co.uk/media/1260/462-463-sep18-web2020.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210517005440/https://www.whitebus.co.uk/media/1260/462-463-sep18-web2020.pdf | archive-date=2021-05-17}}</ref> while Falcon Buses runs the hourly route 715 through Burntcommon between [[Kingston upon Thames]] and Guildford.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Bus timetable - Surrey County Council | url=https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/buses-and-other-transport/bus-timetables/timetable?id=294622 | access-date=2025-01-08 | website=www.surreycc.gov.uk}}</ref>

===Soil===
Send is on a gently rising patch of Bagshot Sand, with Cartbridge, like Ripley, on sand and [[gravel]] of the lower Wey Valley; a southern part of the parish is on generally higher still London Clay.<ref name=malden/>

===Elevation===
Elevations range from {{cvt|49|m}} [[Above Ordnance Datum]] in the south<ref name=osh>[http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm?mapAction=gaz&gazName=g&gazString=TQ0354 Grid square map] [[Ordnance survey]] website</ref> to {{cvt|22|m}} at the far northern border on the [[Wey Navigation]].<ref name=osw>[http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm?mapAction=gaz&gazName=g&gazString=TQ0356 Grid square map] [[Ordnance survey]] website</ref>

==Localities==

===Cartbridge===
Cartbridge is a mostly amorphous locality that covers the western end of the village's main street, particularly where it turns to the north towards [[Woking]].

===Send Marsh===
[[File:Send Marsh, Manor House - geograph.org.uk - 642690.jpg|thumb|Send Marsh, Manor House]]
The neighbourhood is contiguous with the clustered, built-up estates of Boughton Court Avenue and the [[Portsmouth Road]] forming Burntcommon.  For census analyses of the largest neighbourhoods in Surrey, in 2001 the county council opted to consider Burntcommon as a non-notable locality jointly with Send Marsh. On this basis its population at the [[United Kingdom Census 2001]] was almost half of the village as a whole, at 1,937.<ref>

Send Marsh has Send's Grade II listed late 17th century [[manor house]] by the [[village green]].  It is built of brown brick in [[English bond]].<ref>{{National Heritage List for England|desc=The Manor House, Send|num=1029348|accessdate=24 October 2013}}</ref> The hamlet has one public house, called the ''Saddlers Arms'', but no shops or church.

Unusually for Guildford schools it is within the admission priority area of Guildford's [[George Abbot School]] most years and the boundaries have not to date excluded it to be replaced by for instance closer areas of north-western [[Guildford]].{{citation needed|date=October 2013}}

===Burntcommon===
'''Burntcommon''' is a locality of Send that directly adjoins Send Marsh. Its nearest town is [[Woking]], which lies approximately {{convert|3.1|mi}} north-west.<ref>[http://www.nestoria.co.uk/burntcommon/ Burntcommon]. Nestoria.co.uk. Accessed 5 June 2012.</ref>

===Schools===
Send [[National school (England and Wales)|National School]], off Send Hill, was built in 1834 and enlarged in 1892. When the school closed, the building was converted to residential use. It is now known as The Old School.

Send Church of England Central School was built in 1939 but, with war imminent, its opening was delayed until 1941 in case the building was required for military use.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/nostalgia/looking-back-history-st-bedes-13375705 |title=Looking back on the history of St Bede's School in Send after buildings demolished |publisher=SurreyLive |date=26 July 2017 |access-date=30 June 2018}}</ref> During the planning process questions were raised in the House of Commons about the provision of adequate drainage.<ref>HC Deb 23 November 1938 vol 341 cc1763-4W {{cite web|title=SEND (SURREY).

Over time it became known as St Bede's and, from 1972, was relaunched as a middle school. Facilities grew to include two outdoor swimming pools.

Send Church of England (Foundation) First School was built in 1958.

Send's two schools formed the Federation of Send Church of England Schools on 29 March 2012.

Under its final title, St Bede's Church of England (Aided) Junior School buildings were demolished in Summer 2017<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/gallery/final-days-st-bedes-cofe-13377287 |title=The final days at St Bede's CofE Junior School, Send |publisher=SurreyLive |date=24 July 2017 |access-date=30 June 2018}}</ref> and a replacement building for 7– to 11-year-olds was erected on the Send First School site on Send Barns Lane.

A Celtic-style stone cross next to the Church Rooms on Send Road rises above these inscriptions:
"1914–1918 In memory of the men of this village who at the call of duty gave their lives their country. Faithful unto death."
The names of the fallen are:

*(1914–1918) G. Frederick Barnes, William Barnett, Arthur Brackley, William C. Collins, George F. Craddock, Trevor Durrant, Robert G. Fuller, Albert Giles, William Giles, Alan F. M. Grant, David Millard, Archibald Muir, Maurice Simmonds, W. Kenneth Sinclair, Robin R. Skene, Ernest Tickner, Jack Tickner, Herbert W. Walls, Ernest A. Whapshot, Sidney Wright, Alfred Wye.

[[File:Recreation Ground, Send - geograph.org.uk - 702563.jpg|thumb|Recreation ground memorial]]
A brick memorial mounted with a wrought iron "1914 1918" in the recreation ground near the corner of Send Road and Sandy Lane bears the words: "This recreation ground was purchased by public subscription and was opened on 1 June 1920 for the benefits of the inhabitants of Send as a memorial to the sailors and soldiers who fell and in grateful recognition of those in the village who took part in the Great War of 1914–1918. Trustees: S. S. Boorman, A. H. Lancaster, J. A. Shirer, W. M. Grant, F. W. Morgan Jones, W. G. Whitbourn."

A stone tablet on the north wall of the nave inside the parish church bears this inscription: "The peal of six bells was hung as a memorial to those of this parish who lost their lives in two world wars and as a thank offering for victory." The names listed are the same as on the Celtic-cross memorial but with the addition of five people "killed by enemy action": V. Bowers, H. C. Parsons, H. E. Privett, M. J. Privett and V. Privett. Members of the Privett family were killed on 21 August 1944 by the explosion of a [[V-1 (flying bomb)|V1 flying bomb]] which landed on their home at Burnt Common Cottages.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.eastclandon.org.uk/Memoirs%20-%20Wallis.pdf | title=Memories of my childhood in East Clandon 1939 –1947 | author=Geoff Wallis | access-date=2009-08-08 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060822224531/http://www.eastclandon.org.uk/Memoirs%20-%20Wallis.pdf | archive-date=22 August 2006 | df=dmy}}</ref>

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%.  The proportion who owned their home with a loan compares to the regional average of 32.5%.  The remaining % is made up of rented dwellings (plus a negligible % of households living rent-free).

===Occupations===
The [[high street]] provides some professional occupations and technical businesses, the schools and nearby prison form most of the government merit services; other occupations existing in the parish include manufacturing, agriculture and food and leisure-related categories of employment.  Nonetheless, the village demographically has a very high proportion of professionals and in relation to these, it is part of the [[London Commuter Belt]], with the [[City of London]] being the main destination by train from [[Woking]].  The nearest entertainment and large retail premises are in Woking.  A former landfill in Send is a 20 hectare plantation of short rotation coppice [[willow]].<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.tvbioenergy-coppice.co.uk/pdf/events-programme-2005.pdf | title=2005 Events Programme | access-date=2009-08-10 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008102657/http://www.tvbioenergy-coppice.co.uk/pdf/events-programme-2005.pdf | archive-date=8 October 2011 | df=dmy}}</ref>
