Wyke is a rural and suburban village in Surrey, whose nearest town is Aldershot, two miles to the west across the border in Hampshire: closer though is Ash in Surrey, a mile to the west and which has local shops. Nearby too is the larger village of Normandy, also a dispersed village. Normandy, Flexford and Christmas Pie share the parish church of Wyke, being relatively central to the four former hamlets. Wyke shares in the sports associations and community groups of Normandy.
Wyke as a wider parish than its topographical definition was formed out of Ash, Worplesdon and Wanborough in 1847 when its church was built.[1] Most of this combined land of Wyke, Normandy, Flexford and Christmas Pie was an outcrop of Worplesdon surrounded by the south-east of the parish of St Peter, Ash, which was the largest mediæval parish in Woking Hundred.[1]
