Shere, Medieval village in Surrey, England

The River Tillingbourne flows through this village center, where traditional cottages, two pubs, and a Norman church form a concentrated settlement pattern.

The settlement dates from Anglo-Saxon times and developed as a civil parish that now includes three consolidated villages: Gomshall, Holmbury St. Mary, and Peaslake.

St James' Church stands as a central religious monument in Shere, representing architectural elements from different periods of English ecclesiastical construction.

The village maintains essential services with a blacksmith, trekking shop, tea house, art gallery, and a Church of England infant school for children.

The village extends across 24.5 square kilometers, with four-fifths of residences concentrated in a central area of 3.11 square kilometers.
