(xv cent.).  Oxted is a parish and village 3 miles east of
Godstone and 20 miles from London. It contains 3,646 acres and
measures fully 6 miles from north to south and not more than a
mile and a half from east to west, and for the most part less.
It is bounded on the north by Woldingham and Chelsham, on the
east by Limpsfield, on the south by Crowhurst, which at the time
of the Domesday Survey probably formed part of it, and on the
west by Tandridge. It is of the usual type with regard to
situation and soil, extending from the chalk in the north, which
rises in a bold escarpment
