Pub history

The Edward Rayne

In 1868, the West Barnes Park Estate was bought by Richard Garth, lord of the neighbouring manor of Morden. It was at his request that a railway station was built, to serve the suburb he had envisaged. The suburban development of Raynes Park began in 1871 with the opening of that railway station, named after Edward Rayne because it crossed land which he once owned and farmed.
