Description
Foxshaw is a former inn, now a house, dating to the 17th century. The building has a timber frame which was later refaced with red brick, and a tiled roof with a ridge stack on the left and an end stack on the right. It is two storeys high, with a mixed pattern of casement and sash windows, four in total on the first floor. A central plank door with margin lights is sheltered by a hipped roof porch supported by wooden posts. A catslide extension is present to the left and rear. The building was formerly known as the Fox Inn, and in July 1805, Edward Banks, the contractor for the Croydon, Merstham and Godstone Iron Railway – the world’s first public railway – met with local gentry there to wager on the railway's first trial run.
