Places of interest in Epsom, KT18
Epsom lays within the Copthorne hundred, an administrative division devised by the Saxons. The name of Epsom derives from Ebba's ham. Ebba was a Saxon landowner. There were a string of settlements, many ending in -ham, along the northern slopes of the Downs, including Effingham, Bookham, and Cheam. The only relic from this period is a 7th century brooch found in Epsom and now in the British Museum.
Epsom College is a co-educational Public School in Epsom, Surrey, England for pupils aged 13 to 18.

The headmaster is a member of the Headmasters' Conference.
