Extracts From Wonersh & Surrey books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Wonersh, inspired by Frith photos.
Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The half-timbered Grantley Arms pub (left) is named after Fletcher Norman, First Baron Grantley (1716- 1789), a colourful character who was an MP and a rather dubious lawyer. He had married the daughter and heir to Sir William Chapple of Wonersh. The Pepperpot, on the right, is made of beams and tiles from Wonersh Park mansion. Struck by passing vehicles on a number of occasions, it now stands on a solid plinth to protect it.

Also very popular was the sending of picture postcards, which served people much as the telephone does today - Eatons paper shop, on the left, claimed to have the largest selection.
