'The original parts of The Surrey Oaks date back to 1570. It seems, however that it did not become an inn until c. 1850 when Mary, widow of James Butcher, a wheelwright, was described in the tithe redemption schedule as an "innkeeper". In order to provide an additional income, Mary turned the house (which continued as a wheelwright's) into an inn'. For more see http://www.surreyoaks.co.uk/thepub/thepub.htm#pub01
