Margaret Bishop Dear Editor, We received a phone call from some friends who wanted to pay us a very welcome but unexpected visit the following day. Wanting to organise some flowers at very short notice I went to 'Lesley's Flowers' in Westmore Road. Lesley produced a beautiful table display at short notice which was delivered out of hours in the evening and produced within our budget. We can thoroughly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. Many thanks to her, as the display was very much appreciated. Sheila Cook Dear Editor, We have had a very lovely life living here in the village, it’s been brilliant but last week we moved on to pastures new. It was a bit of a rush as we exchanged on Thursday afternoon and completed the next day. A lovely new family have moved into our/their home, 2 Flowerdale, Manor Road. We wish them all the very best in their new home and please do say hello to them if your passing by. Simon, Estelle, Amy and Ollie Holliday Reminder Your completed 2015 Tatsfield Bird Register would now be gratefully received by Nigel Shaw. Please send to [email protected]. Alternatively, drop it into ‘Linda’s Stores’ or to ‘Primrose Ridge’, Greenway. The 2016 register may be found in the centre pages of this magazine. Please remove it in due course and complete it as the year goes by. 16 TATSFIELD PARISH COUNCIL We hope your Christmas was enjoyable and that 2016 will meet all your hopes and expectations! Thanks to Kenny Thurgood’s lifting ability and Ian Longley’s lighting skills we finally had a sturdy Christmas tree (sought out by Jon Allbutt) in time for the carol service outside the Ship. Our thanks go to David Bishop for organising what has now become a regular event and to Helena for representing the Parish Council at short notice! Once we’ve found our feet in the New Year, the Parish Council will need to decide if we should plant a permanent Christmas tree in the centre of the village, or if we should continue buying one each year. Over the next few weeks we will also be responding to Tandridge District Council’s consultation on the Local Plan – the document that decides what can be built where over the next few years. At our December meeting we set up a small working group to go through the plan. We’ll be looking in particular at what the draft says about where new housing should go, how much there should be, what the effect on Tatsfield will be and at our hopes for the future of the village. Our District Councillor, Martin Allen, has more to say on one of the next pages. One major proposal in the deep south of the parish has been turned down by Tandridge. That’s the application to build a parcel distribution centre on the site of the Moorhouse Tile Works on the A25. There were several hundred objections, voicing much concern about the potential traffic generation on the A25 both in Oxted and Limpsfield as well as on the narrow stretches of that road across the border in Westerham and Brasted. The question now is what alternative proposal is likely to come forward for this brown-field site. Up in the village centre, we learned last month that it would cost more than £12,000 to put a decent surface on the footpath along the Approach Road between Westmore Green and the Scout Hut. Nevertheless, we were told that the County Council was working towards doing the work in the spring. You may also have noticed that we have put up a number of new waste bins over the past few weeks so there’s even less excuse for litter and dog mess to be left to spoil our environment.

  • The Titsey Herd
    HERD FEATURE THE TITSEY HERD I was rather surprised to be asked by the society to write a ‘history’ of the Titsey herd as we are relatively new to the breed only having bought the first animals in 2006 at the autumn sale at Ashford. I have managed the Pitchfont Farm for the Innes family since 1986 who have in turn farmed it since 1976. Pitchfont is effectively the home farm of the historic Titsey estate close to the commuter town of Oxted in East Surrey. The estates history can be traced back to 1534 when John Gresham of the city banking family bought the estate. The estate stayed by direct succession in that family until 1842 when the Gresham heiress married into the Leveson-Gower family. The last of the line, Mr. Thomas Leveson-Gower, who was Mr. David Innes guard- ian, died a bachelor in 1992. Fortunately, a private charitable trust had been formed in 1979 to perpetuate Titsey for public benefit. Pitchfont was farmed in hand as the Titsey Company Farms until 1976. There are records of cattle keeping here showing that there were herds of dairy cattle including Shorthorns and Guernseys. In 1965 the ‘Tyttsey’ pedigree herd of British Friesians was formed alongside these there was a small breeding herd of Aberdeen Angus. As time progressed and land came under the plough a more arable/dairy regime transpired. When Mr. and Mrs. David Innes took on the tenancy of Pitchfont in 1976 the pedigree Friesians became the Limpsfield herd which during my stewardship had evolved to the more prevalent Holstein.

  • C&F September Minutes 2019 2
    Chelsham and Farleigh Parish Council The minutes of the meeting of the Chelsham and Farleigh parish council held at the St Marys church hall Farleigh on 2nd September 2019. In attendance, Jan Moore – chair Lesley Brown – vice chair Nancy Marsh Barbara Lincoln Peter Cairns The meeting opened at 8.02pm under the chairmanship of Jan Moore. 1. Apologies for absence were received from –Michelle Richards – clerk illness. Jeremy Pursehouse. Annual leave. There were no other apologies received. The previous meetings minutes were agreed subject to the amendment in item 3 below as a true record and signed by the chair. 2. There were no declarations of interest. It was noted also that the Clerk also needs to fill in Declaration of Interest form. One member of the public arrived after the meeting opened. A local resident Mrs Elizabeth Gates. Mrs Gates requested that the parish council contact Surrey C.C. with regard to the overgrown hedge on both sides of the road from the Old Rectory Cottage right through to the farm buildings where the Farleigh Court Golf course side entrance meets the road. This applies to both sides of the road along this section. The hedge is a hindrance to both horse riders and larger vehicles due to it hanging down in the middle of the road. The old Moat is also in desperate need of attention. The Parish Council should write to Merton College who we believe are responsible for it and to highlight the condition requesting that they consider giving it some attention. 3. Amendment to previous minutes dated 1st July 2019.
