We lived at Chestnut Cottage until about 1977 or 78. I remember the long hot summer of 1976 and work being done on the Malt House. My dad sometimes worked behind the bar in the pub next door as well as the garage.... [more]

Having moved to the village with my family in 1965 I rememeber this to be the old forge and watching the blacksmith shoeing horses. Next door was the post office with a small telephone exchange and a phone box that would cost 2p to make a call.

The Hallams belonged to my family (my father's line - Charles Arthur Champneys Hodgson) for many years, until the 1950s l believe. l would dearly love to know any information about the Hodgson family who lived there, pre-second world war and 19th century. Any memories, photos or connections would be very much appreciated. My email is eviemaidenscroft@hotmail.co.uk

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
Taken at the western end of the village, this photograph shows the Jolly Farmer pub on the right. It was formerly known as the Wheatsheaf. There is, of course, another Wheatsheaf further along the road; it had once been a pair of cottages, but they were converted to a beer house in the 1880s.

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The village school opened in 1851, but its role has changed several times over the years. In 1904 it became a mixed school of infants, juniors and seniors. From 1949, it was solely a junior school, and then switched to become a first school in 1973. Closure was threatened in 1994, yet it survives to this day with infant pupils as well as a nursery.
