In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Elmbridge like this:
ELMBRIDGE, or Emley, a hundred in Surrey, on the Thames and southward, between the hundreds of Godley and Kingston. It is cut into two divisions, first and second; the former containing Weybridge parish and three other parishes, the latter, Cobham parish, two other parishes, and part of another. Acres, 9, 506 and 12, 199. Pop., 13, 184. Houses, 2, 475. A part of the first division on the river Emley or Mole gives name to the whole; belonged to the families of Immeworth and Brasse; and was given, by Edward IV., to the corporation of Kingston.
