The stucco-faced early Georgian (pre-1750) inn replaced an earlier inn of the same name which had been listed in a 17th Century Parliamentary Survey as one of the principal inns of Egham. In 1828 there were 19 horse-drawn coaches every day that stopped at the Catherine Wheel so that travellers could take refreshments while the horses' needs were seen to through the archway to the right. This building was demolished in 1898 and replaced with a grand Victorian building.

The replacement Victorian hostelry was built in 1898 and the stables behind were no longer required. The pub proudly proclaims its products: "Ashby's Ales & Stout" on the corner façade. This wonderful building was demolished in the mid-1990s to be replaced with a faceless office block, despite the pub being listed!!
