The Caterham Bypass

This Bypass road dates from the 1930s. It was entirely dual carriageway until recent years when one lane on the northern route was closed. This was a road safety measure following several serious accidents.

This is the parish church for Caterham. It was consecrated in 1866 to replace a smaller building which still exists across the road. It has a peal of 8 bells and a church hall is situated behind the main building.
