Badshot Lea is located on the border of Hampshire and [[Surrey]. It currently has two public houses - The Cricketers and The Crown.

Introduction
Until the reign of Queen Victoria there was no village of Badshot Lea. The common of Badshot or Batchet Green or Lea was not enclosed and parcelled into suitable building plots until the 1850’s. However there was an old settlement called Badshot, which was concentrated along what is now Crown Lane. Its principal houses were Badshot Place on what is now Badshot Park and a very old house on the present Beech Tree drive, called Badshot House.
