Just on the right up a slight hill and only just visible is the butcher's shop.

He redesigned the interior, renaming it 'Whitecroft' after the name on an old map indicating... [more]

Since this photo was taken the top of the large tree in the background has been hit by lightning. Around four or five feet of bare wood sticks out at the top of the tree. I don’t know when this happened.

This gem of a village is situated between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge. Its beauty means that it has a constant stream of visitors who browse in the antique and gift shops and sit beside the clear Tillingbourne Stream.
