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.

Popes Lane, near Oxted, Surrey

Popes Lane is a narrow and winding lane that has been used by motorists as a cut-through between Godstone in Surrey and the Edenbridge area of Kent, but it is not really suitable for heavy traffic and the surface has given way in places, resulting in the closure of the road to through traffic at the present time. It is seen here after a heavy shower.

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.

St. George's Church at Crowhurst

The small disperesed village of Crowhurst lies about two miles north of Lingfield and is centred in the west of this grid-square around the small mediaeval church of St. George, seen here from the village street.
