Six Brothers Field, Chaldon Six Brothers Field is Chaldon&#039;s main recreational area and is used for many purposes by the community. It was gifted to the National Trust on the 31st December 1926 by Martin Colesharman.

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&#039;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.
