Toponymy
The first written record of Shepperton is from a charter of 959, in which it appears as Scepertune.[2] The name is thought to derive from the Old English scēp (sheep), hirde (herdsman) and tūn (enclosure, farm or settlement). The name is generally agreed to mean "shepherd's farm" or "shepherd's settlement".[3]
History
Early history
The earliest evidence of human activity in the local area is from the middle Neolithic. A henge, taking the form of a penannular ring ditch, was discovered in the late 1980s, close to the River Ash, to the north of Shepperton Green. The structure was around 23 m (75 ft) in diameter and is thought to have been constructed c. 3500 BCE. The main entrance to the henge was aligned with the position of the sun at sunrise on the summer solstice and lumps of red ochre had been placed inside the ditch to mark the position of the most southerly moonrise.[6][7] The ditch appeared to have been refilled and re-excavated in the late Neolithic.[8][9] Two burials were discovered at the site - a torso, probably male, and an almost complete skeleton of a female. Radiocarbon dating showed that the woman had lived in the late 3rd millennium BCE and analysis of the isotope composition of her teeth suggested that she had grown up in an area where lead-zinc ore was found, possibly Derbyshire, the Mendips or the North Pennines.[4][10] A reconstruction of the face of the woman from the skull was created at the University of Manchester in 2004.[5]
Finds from the Iron Age include an inhumation of a woman in her 40s, found on Chertsey Road,[11] and iron swords, discovered at Shepperton Ranges.[12][13] Pewter plates, from the latter site, are thought to date from the late Roman period.[14] Evidence of late-Iron Age and Saxon settlements was found at Shepperton Green in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[15]
Later history
Shepperton is recorded in Domesday Book of 1086 as Scepertone. It had a population of 25 households and was held by Westminster Abbey; (excluding any woodland, marsh and heath) it had eight hides, pasture for seven carucates and one weir (worth 6s 8d per year). In total, the annual amount rendered was £6.[16][17]
The Church Lane and Church Square area, leading to and next to the river predates by several centuries the High Street as the village nucleus. When the Thames Valley Railway built in 1864 the terminus of Shepperton railway station, 1 mile (1.6 km) north, for the 12 initial years a single train and track running to and from Strawberry Hill, the village slowly expanded into its northern fields.[18] Its coming which was largely due to contributions and permission of W. S. Lindsay the owner of Shepperton's manor.[19]
The

- Use in semi-fiction and alleged hauntings
In semi-fiction, George Eliot's Scenes of Clerical Life telling the Sad Fortunes of The Rev. Amos Barton, gives a thinly veiled picture of Chilvers Coton's church and village in the early 19th century in which she uses the name Shepperton. If anything real is to be gleaned for its use, it is perhaps a passing similarity. Shepperton Manor by John Mason Neale was contemporaneously written in 1844 fifteen years after he had spent six years living in the village. Old parts of Shepperton are said to be haunted by the ghost of a headless monk.[24] Battlecrease Hall (formerly home to Walter Hayes, Ford Motor Company executive and a founder of the company's Formula One programme)[25] is alleged by its owners and certain visitors to have poltergeists.[26]
Conservation areas
Church Square in Old Shepperton
Leading to this is a short, since 1989 bypassed, winding lane from the High Street to Church Square, flanked by Shepperton Manor and the cricket ground, with some listed walls. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner described the view looking towards the south-east of the square with its now listed buildings and river opening as "one of the most perfect village pictures that the area has to offer".[20] It offers two pub/restaurants [27] two hotels, the Anchor Hotel[28] and the Warren Lodge Hotel.[29] In this little square there is also the King's Head public house.[30]

Lower Halliford
The village includes the neighbourhood of Lower Halliford, formerly a near but separate hamlet, which historian Susan Reynolds places at the eastern end of a reduced, river bend-consumed half of the early medieval village, east of the Old Shepperton Conservation Area due to erosion.[19][35]
This area is typified by a small number of

There is mention of Halliford in 962 and there was a settlement there by 1194. However the division into Upper and Lower Halliford does not appear until the late 13th century. Upper Halliford is a large hamlet in the parish of Sunbury, but Lower Halliford was almost certainly the main settlement of the manor.[40] The creation of Desborough Cut diverted the main navigation of the Thames away from the Lower Halliford and Shepperton loop, rendering flooding far less common.[20]
The poet Thomas Love Peacock lived at Elm Bank House here from 1822 until his death in 1866.[41]

The field land and large houses on this estate were bought by Lyon Homes from landowner and developer Edward Scott in the 1950s.

Shepperton Green is that part of the village which continues immediately west of the M3 motorway, north-west of the village centre. Across the River Ash, Surrey, which is no more than a stream most of the year, adjoining, to its north is Littleton. Taken together with Littleton, three farms operate on the edges of this conjoined residential area, providing a buffer to the north and west. Shepperton's central SSSI is on the south side of the motorway Sheep Lake Walk and meadows, managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust. To the west are large lakes (one sifted and worked for gravel). This means that Shepperton Green with Littleton is buffered to all sides, except for its eastern side with its road bridge to Shepperton proper, classified as Shepperton Town ward and county council electoral division. This area is currently grouped with Laleham for all local elections.
High Street and economy
Shepperton has a traditional high street, shorter than that at nearby
History board
The Village Hall in the High Street has a large depiction of the economic life and of the history of the village. In October 2011, a group of children from St Nicholas C of E Primary School won a competition to create the history board, which was then edited by a graphic designer and officially opened by the mayor with a large ceremony and some press, after Sunbury had held a similar competition. The board itself includes a grassland to represent the pastures and provides local information.
Public services
Four infant/junior/primary schools, a senior comprehensive school and senior private school are in the village.
St Peter's Hospital on the far side of Chertsey is a large NHS hospital administrated by Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Trust. It was opened under its existing name in 1947. The South East Coast Ambulance Service Foundation Trust provides emergency patient transport to and from this facility. Other forms of health care are provided for locally by several small clinics and surgeries.

Upper Halliford has since the early 20th century been in Shepperton post town, and almost contiguous, but with its own station, residential roads, fair and shopping parade, even an Upper Halliford Village sign. Arguably in modern analysis it is a village, with the second highest concentration of development in the post town.[43]

Culture
Film
Shepperton Studios
Shepperton Studios is home to a multi-disciplinary film production facility from on-set, through to television and various forms of animation. This also acts as a base for on-location film work for television dramas in the South East and in films, for instance for productions partly shot in the Burnham Beeches woods less than 10 miles (16 km) away. These adjoin Shepperton Green, in the now negligible village of Littleton. In the 1930s its Littleton manor's core, which covered 60 acres (24 ha) was converted into film production lots. This was reduced to 20 acres (8.1 ha) in 1973. Works produced or shot wholly or in part on its 15 stages, other lots or in its extensive animation facilities since the new millennium include:
- Billy Elliot, Chocolat, Gladiator (2000)
- Bridget Jones's Diary, Gosford Park (2001), Spy Game(2001)
- About a Boy, Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
- Love Actually (2003)
- Alexander, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Troy, Wimbledon (2004)
- Batman Begins, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sahara, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)
- The Da Vinci Code (2006)

- Anna Karenina,[50] John Carter (2012)
- Fast & Furious 6, Gravity, Thor: The Dark World (2013)[51]
Halliford Studios
Lower Halliford, a completely contiguous so also integral part of Shepperton, used to be home to Halliford Film Studios, opposite the Manygate Lane conservation area, built in 1955 and one of the first film studios devoted to TV commercial production. It was an independent film studio used for commercials, small television productions and other short "promos". The studio was recently closed and demolished.[52]
Literature
George Eliot depicted Shepperton as set out above.
Shepperton was the home of author
Shepperton is mentioned in the novel
It is also mentioned in the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens,[57] where Bill Sikes tempts Oliver into visiting a house there, but instead, when they get there, Oliver is dragged on to a lonely house nearby by Sikes.
Fine art
J. M. W. Turner painted in 1805 two scenes of the shimmering river and fishermen on the far banks of the Lower Halliford part of Shepperton including the wide landscape work Walton Bridges widely exhibited in 1807 following a previous similar work by Canaletto of the scene in 1754.[58][59][60]
Sport and recreation
There are recreation grounds for football on both sides of the M3: one in Shepperton Green and two in Shepperton/Lower Halliford; one has adjoining tennis courts. Through the town there is the Thames Path and there are popular adjacent flat cycling routes to Windsor, Hampton Court Palace and Richmond. There is a golf course north of the station in the historic parish of Sunbury so anachronistically named Sunbury Golf Club and for a time American Golf at Sunbury with two courses, a driving range and Crown Golf Academy[61] as Sunbury is a larger settlement.
Desborough Sailing Club is based here with its own dinghy basin, private inlet and secluded reach of the river Thames and international medal-winner training club Queen Mary Reservoir Sailing Club lies between Shepperton and Ashford.
Angling is substantial at Halliford Mere fisheries and on the River Thames itself.[62]
Shepperton has a thriving cricket club, which has teams in the Fullers Surrey County League.[63]
Places of worship
There are several churches in the village covering three denominations of Christianity.
The architecturally listed stone-clad church to St Nicholas on the preserved village square (Church of England) is led by the rector of Shepperton, Rev Chris Swift and is committed to helping the largest Shepperton primary school and contributes to a wide range of local good causes.[64][65]
Founded in 1936, St John Fisher Roman Catholic church led by Fr Shaun Richards adopts a vibrant approach to parish life involving "Prayer, Partnership, Pilgrimage, and Panto" the last two of which are annual and the first two of which are intended to be daily or regular activities of its believers. The parish places emphasis on helping the housebound and sick, CAFOD and takes part in the Westminster Diocese pilgrimage to Lourdes.[66]
Jubilee Church, Shepperton was formed as a new church in 1982 to celebrate in modern "mainstream Christianity" being less focussed on ceremony than the two oldest UK churches. Its twin values are: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart ... and your neighbour as your self."[67] and Make disciples.[68][69]
Littleton has a co-led Church of England; Upper Halliford has a Baptist church for further details of which see those articles.
