Meadow and woodland, near Crowhurst, Surrey No metalled road enters this gridsquare, which is thus a haven of peaceful English countryside.  The infant River Eden meanders just beyond the trees, and a large herd of Channel Islands cattle can also just be discerned.

The Crowhurst Yew This ancient tree is estimated to be around 4,000 years old; maybe twice the age of the church in whose graveyard it now stands. The location of a church here may suggest an effort to put an obvious Christian stamp on a site that was already of religious or spiritual significance to a pre-Christian population, thus easing the transition of religion.
