Lower Halliford is a hamlet in the parish of Shepperton in Surrey, formerly Middlesex on the banks of the River Thames. It lies on the road from Kingston upon Thames to Chertsey on a loop of the Thames across the river from Walton on Thames.
There is mention of Halliford in 962 and there was a settlement there by 1194. However the division into Upper and Lower Halliford does not appear until the late 13th century. Upper Halliford is a hamlet in the parish of Sunbury, but Lower Halliford was almost certainly the main settlement of the manor.[1] The creation of Desborough Cut diverted the main navigation of the Thames away from the Lower Halliford and Shepperton loop.
Lower Halliford consists of a green with several houses around it, and a group of houses on the north side of the main road alongside the Thames. It has been designated a conservation area.[2]
The poet Thomas Love Peacock lived at Elm Bank House at Lower Halliford from 1822 until his death in 1866.[3]
