Scott And Jupp Families

A Memory of Outwood.

I was brought up in Bletchingley in the 1960s and my father Clyde Howard Willats was born near Redhill. He knew Outwood well and used to tell me the story about the two families who owned the two windmills, they were the Jupps and the Scotts. Apparently they were always at loggerheads and decided to settle their differences by fighting it out on two rafts moored in the centre of the pond!! History[and memory!] do not convey the name of the winners, however the road by the pond is Scotts Hill, any comments on this anybody?

Not sure of the accuracy of this but descendants of these families still live in the village. In fact one of them owns the Marl Pond you refer to.
