A green with a long cricketing history
The village's cricket green, where matches have been played for well over a century, doubles as the setting for the annual village fete and the occasional summer fair, and remains the clearest focal point of Shamley Green today.
Common land shared with Wonersh
The parish council manages most of the common land across both Wonersh and Shamley Green, and leases the remainder of Shamley Green Common, along with Lords Hill Common, from Waverley Borough Council. The village itself has two pubs, the Red Lion and the Bricklayers Arms.
Council and parish
Shamley Green falls within the civil parish of Wonersh, under Waverley Borough Council, the same authority responsible for Godalming.
