Leatherhead, in Surrey, had a population of around 13,000 at the 2021 census — a town with an unlikely claim to Tudor literary fame.
Elynour Rumming and The Running Horse
Around 1517, poet John Skelton wrote "The Tunning of Elinour Rumming," a satirical poem about a hard-drinking Surrey alewife. She is traditionally identified with Leatherhead, said to have run an ale house on the site of The Running Horse, a pub still standing in the town today, with parts of the building dating back roughly 500 years.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Leatherhead shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Leatherhead shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Guildford or Dorking for a wider selection.
