A little bit of history

The first occupants of Bagshot date back as far as pre-Roman, but the village really prospered in Elizabethan times due to its location on the main London to West Country Road (now the A30). The area bred many highwaymen, with William Davis being particularly notorious. He was eventually caught at the White Hart Inn in Bagshot and hanged.
