ABOUT THE SCHEME
The Haslemere Blue Plaque scheme was re-introduced by the Society in 2007. The scheme commemorates important people who have lived in the town as well as significant historical events or communities who have contributed to the town’s rich history.
Haslemere's rich cultural heritage means that there are many eligible candidates for new plaques although one of the challenges we face is that many of our best known former residents lived in large houses which are out of sight and in areas with limited public access. In establishing criteria for our plaques which celebrate individuals, we have broadly followed the rules of the London scheme.

Location

 Haslemere 

Haslemere is a historic town of great charm. Its setting in wonderful countryside in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and its good transport links make it a much sought after place in which to live. The town is vibrant and cherished and the Society does not resist change, but seeks high standards of appropriate development and the careful planning of amenities and facilities, which are as much a concern for the Society as is conservation. The Haslemere Society has a substantial membership whose influence is widely respected.  The committee appreciates its active involvement and support.  New members are very welcome.  You can help to shape Haslemere's future by joining the Society.
