Weston Green is a small suburban village[n 1] and a ward in the Elmbridge borough of Surrey.
The village forms a rough triangle of land along the west side of the midsection of the Hampton Court Branch Line next to Thames Ditton railway station and down to Esher railway station (which is on the South West Main Line), with the split between the two being the part dual-carriageway, the A309.
[2] The village occupies part of the lands of two manors of medieval Thames Ditton: According to the Chancery Rolls of 1212, King John was entertained at a residence of some size in Ditton belonging to Geoffrey Fitz Pierre, the Chief Justice, during a royal journey from Chertsey to London.
In the great Onslow sale of Imber Court in 1778, William Speer (who had acquired property in Westminster and Fulham on marrying heiress Katherine Wilson) bought the largest parcel of land, Manor Farm.
The barn of Weston Manor Farm, built to Henry VIII's order, was said to be a 'huge and splendid building'.
Towards the end of the 18th century, an amateur police force of about 80 men was formed at Weston Green.
East Molesey and Esher's part of the Imber Court and Sandown Park neighbourhoods directly adjoin.
At the two tiers levels of local government, to date representatives have been from the Conservative more often lately a usually allied to the others Thames Ditton & Weston Green Residents' Association but sometimes acting independently from the other residents associations, as currently professed at the county level by Nick Darby.
