'V' is for Valley End.
The earliest references to Valley End go back to the reign of Henry III, in the 13th century, when the hamlet was referred to as Falelye or Falilegh. In the years since, its name has been recorded variously as Faledle, Falleywod, Fallwood and Fellow End. Cartographers seem to have settled on the name Valley End by the mid-19th century.
The parish sits between Chobham and Windlesham in the Surrey Heath district of the county. Most of its land lies to the north of the M3 motorway, though the main cluster of buildings are to the south. These include the school, founded in 1859, and St Saviour's church, built in 1867 by the leading ecclesiastical architect, George Frederick Bodley. Even the village cricket club has a long heritage, with the first ball bowled here back in 1895.
