		The page on The Railway, Brookwood Cemetery and The Necropolis and Victorian and Edwardian Institutions, and Famous People deal with more information about the area in relation to those subjects.
		The school brought about some minor development, but it was probably the nursery grounds and the opening of Worplesdon Station (in 1883) which accounted for most of Mayford’s limited growth in the late 19th century.
