History
Early History
South of Broad Street, east of Wood Street Village on a farm in Broad Street Common are ruins of a Roman Villa - for further details see the Guildford article, as it is directly by the major town's western edge however in this parish.
Worplesdon has a Grade I C of E church, St Mary's with a 13th-century chancel and later additions. Worplesdon’s single manor appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Werpesdune held by Turald (Thorold) from Roger de Montgomery. Its domesday assets were: 6½ hides; a church, 9 ploughs, a mill worth 2s 6d, 8 acres (32,000 m2) of meadow, wood worth 60 hogs. Its 22 households (of which one was a serf's) rendered £10 sterling per year to its overlords.
