Slade Farm and a cottage were transferred from Wisley to Ockham 25 March 1883.

The former [[Wisley Airfield]], a misnomer as it is within the bounds of [[Ockham, Surrey|Ockham]], next to the junction of the M25/A3,<ref>[https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&t=k&ll=51.30717,-0.46207&spn=0.012046,0.02635&t=k Google Maps - Location of Wisley Airfield]</ref> had a {{convert|6,691|ft|mile|adj=on}} runway. Built towards the end of [[World War II]] as a flight test airfield for the [[Vickers]] aircraft factory at nearby [[Brooklands]], it opened in 1944 and after extended use for the development of military aircraft during the [[Cold War]], it finally closed in 1972.

Although the runway, taxiways and large areas of hardstanding survive, most of the buildings—including the unique control tower converted from an old timber-framed cottage—were demolished around 1980. The Ockham Beacon at the east end serves as a navigation aid for aircraft flying over the area.
