History
The Ottershaw Society has carried out a comparative, now and then, survey of the village comprising more than 1,000 images (photographs and illustrations) from the mid-19th century to the present time, older residents' memories and various other historical written material. The Victoria County History collaborative historians' work captures the village under its Chertsey entries, as with Addlestone, considering in its 1910s edition some ties to Chertsey remained strong.
