  • Wrecclesham Sport
    18. WRECCLESHAM SPORT. It is perhaps surprising that a small village like Wrecclesham should so consistently provide and nurture a range of high performers and in a number of sports. The Farnham Wall of fame in South Street provides recognition for four top sports performers, all internationals, who have lived and developed their talents in the village. In comparison the performance of the Wrecclesham village teams is somewhat modest. However the opportunity they provide for local young people is important. Sporting achievement in Wrecclesham dates back to the 18/19th Century. It was then more or less confined to cricket. There were very few other sports identified as present in the village at this time. It must be remembered that the main occupation of the male members of the community was in agriculture. The men were hard working and probably had little time or energy for recreation. If anything the women worked even harder in the homes and with the children and there were few creature comforts. No electricity, no television, radio, central heating or motor cars. Water had to be gathered from wells or streams and the overall health of the population was generally as poor as their wealth. One thing of which there was no shortage was public houses; there were five in the Street,1 and three more on the fringe of the village. The men clearly spent a lot of time, and what little money they earned in these hostelries. Many of the publicans were also farmers and they were said to have often paid their workers in liquid form.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, churches, water, parkland In Brief This is a glorious walk, full of variety, with a fine village at the start and a good pub at the high point. It also passes close to two of the most inter- esting and ancient churches in Surrey. Any sensible shoes could be worn on this walk because the paths are generally firm. Shorts can be worn as there are no nettles or brambles. Your dog is also welcome. The William IV pub is the high point of this walk. It has recently (2017-19) undergone a reorganisation and is fully up-and-running. It now serves food every day. The new owners bake their own bread and even churn their own butter! Your dog is welcome. For enquiries, ring 01483-202685. The walk begins in the main car park in Shere Village, Surrey , off the A25, postcode GU5 9HE. The car park often fills up, in which case you can park further down the village by the roadside. (In this case you can take a footpath direct to the church, indicated by a faint line on the map.) You could also begin at Little London, postcode GU5 9DG .

    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

This states that a landscape character assessment linked to criteria based policy approach should provide sufficient protection for these areas provided such designations are based on a formal and robust assessment of the qualities of the landscape concerned. Against this background, Chris Burnett Associates (CBA) were commissioned to undertake a review of the Surrey AGLV by the Surrey Planning Officers Association. (SPOA) The study commenced with a review of historic background. It established that the Surrey Hills AONB is closely linked with the designation of the AGLV. The first County Plan approved in 1958 showed the first AGLV area, which was a smaller area incorporating the North Downs escarpment and the area of Greensand Hills surrounding Leith Hill.
