Excerpt from The History of Surrey, Vol. 4

An act of parliament, to fisusilitate the recovery of small debts in certain parts of Kent, which was passed in 1765, was in the following year extended to the hundred of Wallington; and it was subsequently amended by enactments in 1770, and 1807.

Croydon.

This parish is bounded on the north by Lambeth and Streatham; on the east, by the hamlet of Penge, the parishes of Beckenham and West Wickham, in Kent, and that of Addington in Surrey; on the south, by Addington, Sanderstead, and Coulsdon; and on the west, by Beddington and Mitcham. It is very extensive, being about thirty-six miles in circumference; and the soil, as might be expected, varies greatly in different parts of it, consisting of chalk, gravel, sand, clay, and peat Lysons mentions a large chalk-pit, about a mile from the town, near the road to Addington, which afforded a great variety of extraneous fossils. The river Wandle rises in the lower part of the town, near the church.

This is a place of great antiquity, and about a mile in length. That part now called High-street was formerly only a bridle-road through fields. The old or lower town, called Old Croydon, was situated farther from London, towards Beddington; and there were ruins of it remaining in 1783. Gale, in his Commentary on the Itinerary of Antoninus, says, that a Roman road passed through Old Croydon, from Woodcote to Streatham; and the first-mentioned place has been supposed by some antiquaries to be the site of the station called Naviomofftis. Both Camden and Gale notice a tradition that there was anciently a royal palace, westward of the town, next Haling.
