Located in the splendid Surrey
Hills, this ancient market town is full of
picturesque, antique properties and has had many
famous residents, including the playwright George
Bernard Shaw, the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, and
the writers George Eliot and Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle.
The French musician Arnold
Dolmetsch also made his home here and built a
business, which is still thriving, making
instruments such as harpsichords. He gave his name
to the annual International Dolmetsch Early Music
Festival.
Haselmere’s Educational Museum
was founded in the late 19th century by the
eminent doctor and philanthropist Sir Jonathon
Hutchinson.
