Originally to be called Vicarage Road (and shown as such on the 1912 large scale map), but actually named Vicarage Lane after someone wrongly made the road sign. It formed the western boundary of Horley Common, and still contains a few old cottages built on the common edge. More general building took place from the 1930s onwards. The Vicarage itself was demolished in the early 1960s and replaced with a short close, The Glebe (see Image).
