St Mary the Virgin, Bletchingley The tower dates back to circa 1090, with the porch and oak door dating to 1460. The tower originally had a spire, but this was destroyed when it was struck by lightning in 1606. The nave is comparatively modern, being built in 1856. Just beneath the window covered with glass is a smaller round hole (partially covered by a gravestone in this picture). This was possibly used by Roger the Hermit, who is said to have visited these parts in the 13th-century.

M25, near a road crossing The M25 motorway cuts through this square. The copse in the distance is called Black Bushes and bales of hay can be seen in nearby fields, wrapped ready for winter storage. Also shown are the new crash barriers that are being installed on many of the bridges after a lorry crashed into a bridge a few years ago causing major structural damage.

A Sharp Corner in the road near the M23 Merstham Road does a dog-leg here where it performs a 90 degree turn to avoid the M23. In reality, the road was shaped like this long before the M23 came along.

Spynes Mere Nature Reserve This lake came as a bit of a surprise as it's not on any of my maps, neither is it on the online Ordnance Survey maps! Up until recently this was a sand pit, but it was leased to Surrey Wildlife Trust in 1993. The sand pit has been flooded to form this lake.

A field with some horses This picture sums up this square neatly. The northern third of the square contains some very large houses, interspersed with some paddocks with horses. Then, the square is sliced neatly by the M25. Beyond that are some trees before the ground turns into the desolate wastes of a sand pit. The sand pit is relatively new and isn't reflected on Ordnance Survey maps - much of the south of the square has completely changed - a lane entitled Green Lane Track is no longer there neither it seems is the copse entitled Big Pickle.
