Claygate is a village in the English county of Surrey in the KT10 district of Elmbridge,
Claygate took its name from the clay pits that used to be in the village, providing bricks for a large surrounding area including most of Hampton Court Palace. The village lies at the start of the broad belt of clay deposits around London - it was, literally, the "GATE-way" to the "CLAY". The Claygate Beds, the youngest layers of the London Clay, take their name from Claygate. Claygate's relative isolation has been attributed to historical conditions when through roads became impassible in wet weather because of the clay.
