The building dates from 1892, when the town's name was spelt without an "a" after the first "e". It was provided by a local benefactor Abraham Dixon, of Cherkley Court. He gave the Institute to provide educational, social and recreational facilities for local people. Today the Leatherhead Community Association continue to deliver Abraham Dixon's aims, in co-operation with the charitable trust, which owns the building. There are a range of activities and facilities provided here. Image
