History
The parish lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative division of Tandridge hundred . The earliest reference to Horne by name was in the 12th Century. Horne did not become a parish in its own right until 1705, when the southern part of Bletchingley parish became the parish of Horne. In 1953 parish boundaries were changed with the southern part of Horne becoming the new Parish of Felbridge, whilst parts of Godstone and Tandridge were added.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
