Molesey has three Scout groups which all belong to Esher District. 1st Molesey is a Royal Navy-recognised Sea Scout group whilst 2nd and 3rd Molesey are both Land Scout Groups. All groups have sections from Beavers right through to Explorers. The groups take part in a wide variety of activities and events throughout the year at various locations. Darts is a very popular sport in Molesey, played at several public houses including the Molesey Football Club, The Royal Oak, The Cannon and the Royal British Legion. Teams are made up of patrons and club members. All teams compete in the Molesey and District Darts League. The earliest documentary evidence of a settlement in Molesey appears in a 7th-century charter, shortly after Erkenwald founded Chertsey Abbey in AD 666. He secured from Frithwald, sub-king of Surrey, a charter endowing the abbey with much of the surrounding land, including Muleseg. Etymologists suggest that the town's name is derived from the personal name Mul (pronounced Mule) compounded with the Old English word eg, meaning an island or river meadow – thus Mul's Island. Therefore, Molesey is not, as commonly believed, named after the River Mole that runs through it. The prefixes East and West did not appear until about the year 1200, before which there was only one parish centred around what is now known as East Molesey. [3] Molesey lay within the Saxon administrative district of Elmbridge hundred. In 1984 and again in 1985 Ewan Pearson and CD Riches won the Silver Goblets at Henley for the Club, for coxless pairs (the event dominated by Steve Redgrave and partners throughout the late 80s and 90s). Thereafter Molesey members were winning at Henley and international honours virtually every year.
Clara Elizabeth Giveen (born 1887), Suffragette". National Portrait Gallery . Retrieved 10 November 2022. At the time of the Domesday Survey, Molesey was divided between three lords of the manor. 23 villeins, 8 bordars, 9 cottars and 8 serfs performed services for them. A wooden church existed on or near the present St. Mary’s. The population probably numbered around 200 people.

Regular newsletters keep our members informed of all our forthcoming events as well as giving other interesting information about our local history. By the early 13 th c. the prefixes West and East were in use. (18 th c. newspapers also referred to Upper and Lower Molesey). The boundary between East and West Molesey uses a roughly due north–south compass axis, based on a point of division by the Molesey Stone on the grass outside Molesey Library on Walton Road, though the Stone has been moved from its original position and the actual boundary between East and West Molesey has become somewhat blurred and disputed. The adult crewed courses run late summer/early autumn and participants need to have completed the Sculling Experience at MBC or have sculling experience from another club. The LTR course involves rowing as part of a crew, learning navigation and safety on our stretch of the Thames, and how to cox a boat with confidence. The group meets twice a week on Sundays mornings and Wednesdays evenings. At the end of the course there is a sculling, coxing and safety assessment. Those who pass the course and wish to continue rowing will be invited to join Molesey Boat Club as a member and start rowing with the Explore group.
In 1959 the MBC coxless IV won the Wyfold Challenge Cup at Henley – each of the five heats was won with the verdict “easily,” that is by more than four lengths. This was MBC’s first Henley win since 1893. The average level of accommodation in the region composed of detached houses was 28%, the average that was apartments was 22.6%.
Herbert "Barry" Hart (1894–1954), sculptor and stone carver, died at 2 Walton Road, East Molesey [25] In total the club put seven rowers into the London Olympics which is no mean achievement for a provincial club outside London.
