History[]

The village lay within the Reigate hundred.

Nutfield appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Notfelle. It was held by Countess Ida of Boulogne (2nd wife of Count Eustace). Its domesday assets were: 3 hides; 1 church, 16 ploughs, 1 mill worth 2s, 10 acres (40,000 m²) of meadow, herbage worth 12 hogs. It rendered £15 per year to its feudal overlords.^[2]

At the end of the 12th century, Nutfield was held by Hubert de Anstey and his wife Dionysia, then in 1210 it passed to his son and heir Nicholas de Anstey.^[3]

The Grade II* listed St Peter and St Paul's church was built in the 13th century. The tower dates from the early 15th century but was partly rebuilt in the late 18th century.^[4] There are two stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones.^[5]

The Grade II listed Nutfield Priory is to the west of the village centre, constructed by John Gibson between 1872-4.^[6]

The Metropolitan Green Belt has been used to retain the largely agricultural green belt around the village.
