Thursley Welcome Pack
Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley Welcome Pack 1.0 Introduction Welcome to our parish! This document is intended to provide you with a brief introduction to the history and the facilities available in our parish. 2.0 Thursley Parish Thursley has a comparatively small population (approx. 600) resident in one of the larger parishes (8 sq. miles) of the 21 in the Borough of Waverley, South West Surrey. The parish runs south from its border with Elstead Parish to the southern edge of the Devil’s Punch Bowl near Hindhead. Many years ago, the parish boundaries of Thursley extended as far as Haslemere, but now they are curtailed. They run around Thursley Common, including Warren Mere, and cut across to Bowlhead Green almost to Brook, then back past Boundless Farm to the Devil’s Punch Bowl. They then continue round the bowl to Pitch Place, down to Truxford and back on to the common again. Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley has a cricket green, a large recreation ground which allows parking and a play area upgraded in 2015 as a result of community funding. It attracts many visitors who come to see the village and the local commons via the extensive footpath and bridleway network. The Greensand Way runs through the parish. Bowlhead Green also has an attractive green, and is more agricultural in character than Thursley. Pitch Place has Hankley Common to the north, the orchards and fruit farms to the south and tracks that lead to Hindhead Common and beyond. In popular myth the name Thursley is of Scandinavian origin, meaning the “sacred grove of Thor”, the Norse god of thunder. -

The Haslemere Hoard
THE HASLEMERE HOARD D. F. ALLEN THROUGH the kindness of Messrs. Spink & Son Ltd., and in particular Mr. D. G. Liddell, I am able to publish a hoard of uninscribed Celtic staters, found in Britain, which has a number of exceptional features. As is all too frequent, especially where gold hoards are concerned, the information about the circumstances of the finding is defective. Mr. Liddell has been extremely helpful in trying to get at the facts. The hoard appears to have contained originally about 85 or 90 (or possibly even more) coins and it was found in or about 1944 on a farm about half-way between Guildford and Haslemere in Surrey. The coins have been through three intermediate hands and it seems very unlikely that more precise information will ever turn up. The most likely area is Farley Heath, where many Celtic coins of different types and origins have been found in the past. Representative coins are shown on PL I. The coins came to the knowledge of Messrs. Spink & Son Ltd. piecemeal. Through them I have seen in all 75 coins, but something in the order of 10 or 15 more must have been found. Between 5 and 8 coins had passed through Messrs. Spink & Son's hands before it was realized that a hoard was involved and a further 3 have passed separately through the hands of Messrs. B. A. Seaby Ltd. Some 4 or 5 more appear to have been disposed of abroad. Because of the exceptional features of this hoard it is quite possible that some of these missing coins will ultimately be identifiable, but the gross total of the hoard remains an imprecise figure. -

The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors. Please take the time to read the details of the consultation and, if you are willing, use link below to respond: www.surreysays.co.uk/legal-and-democratic-services/libraries The further link to the on-line consultation is at the bottom of the ‘Have your say’ page you first reach.
