Esher is a town in the Surrey borough of Elmbridge in South East England near the River Mole. It is a suburban development situated 14.1 miles (22.7 km) south west of Charing Cross.
St George's Church - This is Esher's oldest public building and one of the earliest Anglican churches. Most of the structure is 16th century Tudor. Two 18th century features of the Church are a 3-decker pulpit and the Newcastle Chamber Pew designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle and his brother Henry; both served as Prime Minister. Princess Charlotte - heir to George IV- and Prince Leopold - who became the first King of the Belgians - worshipped here when they lived at Claremont after their marriage in 1816.Queen Victoria, Leopold's niece,
attended services when visiting her uncle and later came with Prince Albert. When Christ Church was completed in 1854 St George's ceased to be the Parish Church.
