Village History
In the north-west of the parish are the hamlets of Ifield, with its ancient church of St Margaret, and Henhurst. Close to the village of Cobham is Cobham Hall, which was a late Elizabethan Eighteenth Century mansion, home of the Earls of Darnley, its gardens were designed by Humphry Repton and the surrounding woods contain the Darnley Mausoleum, a Grade I listed building. Since 1957 the hall has been a prestigious girls boarding school, which is open to the public in holidays. A major attraction is the 13th century church. Cobham also has close associations with Charles Dickens who frequently walked to the village from his house at Gads Hill, he set part of \"The Pickwick Papers\" there.
