View of the Millennium Green, Woodcote, Epsom

Welcome to the Woodcote Millennium Green Trust website.

The Woodcote Millennium Green is the only one in Surrey. It comprises an area between the Woodcote Green Estate and Woodcote Green Road at the rear of Epsom General Hospital, originally part of the estate of the Manor of Epsom which was owned by Chertsey Abbey prior to the dissolution of the lesser monasteries in 1536.

Woodcote House at the rear of the Millennium Green was acquired by Sir Edward Northey in the late 17th century and became the family seat to the Northey family for 250 years. The present house dates mainly from the early nineteenth century.

In 1939 Woodcote House and the surrounding land was sold to Earnest Gabriel Harwood. Part of this area was developed for housing as The Woodcote Green Estate, and the house was subdivided into flats which have recently been refurbished.

In 1999 the Harwood family donated a large portion of the remaining woodland including the pond to be held in perpetuity by the Trustees of the Woodcote Millennium Green Trust. The Mayor of Epsom and Ewell officially opened this area, now known as The Woodcote Millennium Green in July 2000.
