MenuWallington, Surrey
Wallington is a suburban town in Surrey. It appears in Domesday as 'Waletone'. The village grew around the crossing of the River Wandle, one of the ancient mill ponds in the area surviving as a boating lake. By the start of the 19th century it remained little more than a hamlet in the west of Beddington parish. It was known for its lavender fields. The opening of Carshalton railway station (1847) inspired Nathaniel Bridges to create a prestigious housing estate of gothic revival villas and sponsor the construction of Holy Trinity Church (1870). Development continued into the 20th century with the area around the station becoming the new high street of the suburban town. Wallington is now contiguous with Carshalton to its west and Beddington to its east. Wallington Town Hall (1934) was designed by Robert Atkinson in the Georgian style. The town is within the council area of Sutton.
