128 - 142 The Street
A group of almshouses at the junction of Park Lane and The Street, named Feilding House after the lady whose legacy in 1733 led to their foundation, Lady Diana Feilding. Originally built to house "6 needy widows", they were altered in 1852 to increase the number of residents to 8 following a donation from Lady Mary Greville Howard of Ashtead Park.
(There seems to be considerable confusion surrounding the spelling of Feilding House, with Fielding House being regularly used in its place, including on the Royal Mail postcode site and various Mole Valley District Council sites. However, it would seem clear that the surname of Lady Diana was indeed Feilding, having married William Feilding in 1705 (who became MP for Castle Rising that year), son of William Feilding, 3rd Earl of Denbigh, the spelling of which would appear to be without doubt.)

The Street, Ashtead (view NE)
The Street is Ashtead's main thoroughfare and most of the village's shops and services are located here. Traffic is often heavy as it is the route followed by the A24 London to Worthing road. A by-pass to the south of the village was projected in the late 1940s but the plan was ultimately rejected. Looking NE towards Epsom.

Ashtead Post Office, 39 The Street
The post office is also a newsagents. According to the shop's blind, you can also renew your car tax here. Many of the smaller post offices can't do this, which is a real nuisance. In 2008, the post office was raided, but fortunately the criminals responsible were caught and sent to prison.
