Godalming is a town in the Waverley district of the county of Surrey, England, seven kilometres south of Guildford. It is built on the banks of the River Wey.

From the original description - In Bridge Street the houses are mostly modern, but one or two ancient dwellings remain. The most venerable of these has some misty association with Henry VII., but, having been redecorated with black varnish and white paint a few days before, it looked like a modern antique. I have drawn a group of houses at the corner where this merges into the High Street; there is no particular history attached to any of them, but they are one of the features of the town, and their presence near the entrance leads one to expect more of the same kind-an expectation doomed to disappointment. There are many single houses of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, and one good group including the "White Hart Inn, 59 the market house, and some old cottage & with curved timbers at the west end of the High Street.
