About  Haslemere   

Haslemere is a town in Surrey, England, close to the border with both Hampshire and West Sussex. The major road between London and Portsmouth, the A3, lies to the west, and a branch of the River Wey to the south. Haslemere is approximately fifteen kilometres south west of Guildford. The earliest recorded mention of Haslemere was in 1221 (when it was spelt Haselmere). The name describes hazel trees standing beside a lake. The lake does not exist today, but there is a natural spring in West Street which is likely to have provided its source. Haslemere became an important market town in the Middle Ages, having been granted a charter by Richard II in 1394. This right was confirmed by a new charter issued by Elizabeth I in 1596. Today, this special status is celebrated with the Charter Fair, held once every two years in the High Street. There is a bust of Elizabeth I in the newly developed Charter Walk, linking West street with the car park of Somerfield
