More about this scene
A scattered hillside village on a minor road in a wooded area near the Surrey border. At the top of the hill is the mainly 14th-century church of the Holy Trinity. The Downs Link, a long distance footpath, passes through the village on the route of the Horsham to Guildford railway line. Mushroom growing, brick making and fullers earth extraction were local industries. The King's Head was built in 1733; not originally a public house, it had a cellar to store stalls for an annual fair held nearby. The Rising Sun on top of the pub sign was a trademark of Brickwoods (Portsmouth) brewery. The scene is similar today.
