These meetings are usually held in Sussex but this year the event came to Surrey, as the RLC has recently constructed a half -scale replica of a Wealden iron blast furnace and forge, complete with waterwheel, bellows and tilt hammer. The meeting started at 1030 with coffee and biscuits and then the Director of the RLC, Chris Shepheard, a former Chairman of SIHG, talked about the formation of the museum, its activities and the enormous amount of work done by volunteers, known as ‘Rustics’. A group of these, headed by Gerald Baker, has been responsible for raising funds for and constructing the replica furnace in a former pig sty on the museum site. After lunch in the RLC Restaurant, Gerald operated the furnace for our party. There is no stream flowing through the museum site so the waterwheel, which is overshot and 6 feet in hammer. The Rustics had lit a wood fire in diameter, has to be turned by circulating water the kiln but for several reasons it was not with an electrically powered pump. One end of its possible to demonstrate smelting and shaft operates paired bellows which force air into forging. This was partly because of safety the base of the furnace through a hole known as a regulations, partly because charcoal and iron tuyere. The other end of the shaft operates a trip ore are not yet available and partly because with a small-scale furnace the high temperatures required may not be attainable.

This was agreed and the Minutes duly signed. 3.1 Chairman’s Comments – Penny Shoubridge said that it had been decided to move Public Questions down the Agenda so the item came after the reports of the Planning & S&A Committees. This was so the public could raise matters after hearing those reports. PS also explained that asylum seekers had again been placed at the Russhill Hotel for a short period. The Home Office was providing transport for them and hi-vis jackets so they would be safe when walking into the village. 4 Report of the Planning and Highways Committee -- 4.1 Planning Comments on applications to week ending 6th September - These had been circulated and NH proposed, with PS seconding, that they be accepted.

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. Woodland, bluebells, village, church, pub In Brief This circular walk finds some areas of spectacular bluebell woods in south- east Surrey, near the Sussex border. This walk takes some unusual paths through the wood where you may be one of the few people to witness some of the best hidden displays. The best time to see the bluebells is usually mid-to-late April. There are no nettles or undergrowth. Normally any sensible footwear is ? fine but if it has been wet you will encounter some muddy patches where good boots or wellies will be needed. Your dog will be in good company. The walk begins in Charlwood village, postcode RH6 0DS near the church and the Half Moon pub. The lane near the pub is one-way and is a tight right turn (if coming from the north) from The Street. It tends to get full up towards lunchtime and on Sundays, in which case there are spaces in the village. For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ).

    Table 4.7: Summary of known Romano-British remains within Updated Scheme Design area Romano-British Location Significance Potential for currently settlement sites unknown sites 1 – RPS 114 (possible Horley Land Unknown Moderate - high (includes occupation area) Farm, now (possibly landscape and industrial Gatwick car park Medium) elements) east of railway 2 – RPS 405 – three Land east of Low north-south aligned London Road field-boundaries of possible RB date Saxon (AD 410 – AD 1066) Local Settlement 4.59 Settlements of early Saxon date are rarely identified in the Weald, despite place-name evidence that indicates encroachment into the Wealden forest for farming or pannage. By the late Saxon period the Weald had been sparsely settled. There are no Anglo-Saxon sites noted on the HERs/EH Archives within the updated scheme design area or the wider Study Area. However, a gully traced for about 20 m at the Gatwick North West Zone produced three sherds of Saxon pottery (Framework Archaeology 2001, 13). 4.60 The presence of at least late Saxon occupation is implicit in the local place-name evidence including Gatwick itself. However, the relatively large-scale archaeological excavations at Horley (ASE 2009; ASE 2013) and Broadbridge Heath (Margetts 2013) failed to identify archaeological evidence for Saxon settlement and it is possible that such evidence would also be elusive within the updated scheme design area.
