In 1215 the manor of Egham which included Runnymede was owned by Chertsey Abbey, then around 1540 after the dissolution it became the property of the Crown. The famous Magna Carta was sealed at nearby Runnymede in 1215 and this is commemorated by a memorial which was built in 1957 by the American Bar Association.
