More about this scene
Overlooked by the slopes of Box Hill and the sweep of the North Downs, this delightful village acquired its name from the badgers whose setts were by the River Mole. The green, with its pump, is a notable home of village cricket; W G Grace played here, and the home side wore straw hats manufactured by the local rush-chair maker. More recently, Brockham has laid claim to regularly mounting the biggest Bonfire Night celebration in the county, rivalling those of Edenbridge in Kent and Lewes in Sussex.
