Oxted and District History Society

 The Oxted and District History Society
now has its own web-site here www.oxtedanddistricthistorysociety.org so all this is redundant.

The East Surrey Museum in Caterham has a collection of archival material and historical records for the Tandridge District. See History & genealogy for more information sources.

The Matrix Coin Project
According to our lecturers on this topic (March 6th 2007), no coins were issued during the Commonwealth following the execution of Charles I. When coinage ran short, traders issued their own tokens. Our lecturers are interested in all tokens even modern ones such as 'British Restaurant Tokens' and 'Coop Tokens'. They would be very pleased if members would tell them of any tokens they have.
