Description

Conservation Area designated in 1981 (B1-2).
The small village of Hedgerley lies in a hollow west of Hedgerley Park. With the exception of Shell House, a red brick building of late 17th-century date, containing many original features, including some doors and the upper part of the staircase, the houses and cottages are of no architectural interest. In the village are the rectory-house, a brick building erected in 1846, and the school. The houses on the west side of the village street are in Hedgerley Dean, a hamlet of Farnham Royal. The church stands on the brow of a hill to the east of the village (B3).
Hedgerley is first mentioned in legal documents in about 1190, with subsequent entries in the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th centuries (B4).
