ABSTRACT

It has long been known that Gerrard Winstanley moved from London to the parish of Cobham in 1643. 1 It is possible to date his move to between 8 October, when he took the Solemn League and Covenant in the London parish of St Olave Jewry, and 20 December, when Surrey’s county committee ordered rates to be set in Elmbridge hundred for the two months’ weekly assessment. 2 Winstanley was included in this assessment as a Cobham resident. 3
