Tandridge Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter Tandridge Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter Bulletin 11 April 22nd – April 28th 2020 Dear Neighbourhood Watch Members Many of you will have read in the media of two very serious incidents that occurred in Tandridge over the past week. The first involved a cyclist in Titsey and the second has resulted in a murder investigation after the body of an elderly man was found at a residential address in Godstone. I would like to draw your attention to the Witness Appeals that have been issued in relation to both incidents in case they have escaped your attention. Full details of the incidents and methods of contacting us are contained in the Appeals that are in this News Bulletin. If you have any information that you consider might assist our enquiries please do contact us. Karen Hughes Tandridge Safer Neighbourhood Inspector WITNESS APPEALS Murder of Dennis KELLOND Surrey Police are appealing for information relating to the murder of Dennis KELLOND on Bletchingley Road (A25), Godstone between the hours of 10.00am and 3.00pm on Saturday 25th April 2020. Mr. Kellond's body was discovered at a residential address in Bletchingley Road, Godstone just after 10.30am on Monday 27th April 2020. Since that time officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries in order to establish what happened. We would particularly like to appeal to anyone who was in the A25/ Bletchingley Road area of Godstone between Ivy Mill Lane and Knights Way between 10am and 3pm on Saturday, 25 April and who may have seen something suspicious, to come forward as a matter of urgency. The road is a well-travelled route which is also used by walkers and cyclists, and we are also appealing to anyone who may have dashcam or video footage to get in touch with us as soon as possible Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Colin Pirie from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: “We are determined to find those responsible for robbing a family of a loving and caring Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, who was callously murdered inside his own home". “Mr. Kellond was very close to his son and two daughters, who are going through incredible emotional turmoil following the death of their Father. We know that someone out there knows what happened to Mr. Kellond and who killed him so we would like the public's help to find out who it was. If you do have any information about Mr. Kellond's murder we would urge you to do the right thing and contact us." If you would prefer to speak to someone, please contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting Operation Zither. Alternatively, you can contact the independent crime fighting charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Incident in White Lane, Titsey Officers were called to White Lane, Titsey just before 1pm on Saturday, 25th April following reports of a cyclist who was in a serious condition in the road. The cyclist was taken to hospital and remains in a life-threatening condition. An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of this incident. PS Chris Schultze said “We are appealing for the public’s help to find out what has happened. At this stage, it is unclear as to how the cyclist came to be in the condition they were found. We would particularly like to speak to the driver of a white van who has been identified as a potential key witness”. If you have any further information or dash cam footage, please contact 101, quoting reference number PR/P20093905. COVID – 19 REPORTS Officers dealt with 15 Covid-19 incidents over the past week by way of either issuing words of advice or Penalty Notices. THIS WEEKS FRAUD ALERT There have also been reports throughout the UK of coronavirus-themed 'phishing' emails. These attempt to trick people into opening malicious attachments which could lead to fraudsters stealing people’s personal information, email logins and passwords, and banking details. Some of the tactics being used in phishing emails include: Fraudsters purporting to be from a research group that mimics the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organisation (WHO). They claim to provide the victim with a list of active infections in their area, but to access this information the victim needs to either click on a link which redirects them to a credential-stealing page or make a donation of support in the form of a payment into a Bitcoin account. Fraudsters providing articles about the virus outbreak with a link to a fake company website where victims are encouraged to click to subscribe to a daily newsletter for further updates Fraudsters sending investment scheme and trading advice encouraging people to take advantage of the coronavirus downturn Fraudsters purporting to be from HMRC offering a tax refund and directing victims to a fake website to harvest their personal and financial details. The emails often display the HMRC logo making it look reasonably genuine and convincing The majority of scams we are seeing across the country relate to the online sale of protective items, and items that are in short supply across the country, due to the Covid-19 outbreak. We’re advising people not to panic and to think about the purchase they are making. When you’re online shopping it’s important to do your research and look at reviews of the site you are buying from CRIME REPORTS IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD If your area is not referred to below it is because we have not been informed of the crime or it has not been affected by reported crime in the categories below.

  • Chaldon Walks Chaldon Residents Walked Each of Its Footpaths Regularly Twice a Year from the 1920S Until a Few Years Ago
    1 Chaldon Walks Chaldon residents walked each of its footpaths regularly twice a year from the 1920s until a few years ago. There were six walks of varying lengths designed to cover the network of official paths and bridleways within the parish. This is an attempt to preserve that tradition and provide some interesting detail. Put together by Liz Bonsall with contributions from Adele Brand, Madeline Hutchins and Lizzy Maskey. May 2020 Chaldon Walk 1 – Chaldon Church, Happy Valley, the Golf Course, Fryern Farm, Chaldon Common Road, Birchwood Lane, Willey Broom Lane, Village Hall. 3 miles, approximately 1 ½ hours. Also extension to return to start. Start by the Church gate. St Peter & St Paul’s Church is of Saxon foundation and mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The present church was probably started late 11thC. The spire was added in 1842. Chaldon Church is world renowned for its famous English wall painting dating from around 1200. The seat along the church path is in memory of Dr & Mrs Williams who were generous Liz Bonsall May 2020 2 benefactors. Notice the new lamp posts to your left, installed in early 2020 to light the path. There are ancient yew trees in the churchyard and three of the large tombs near the shed have Listed Building status (Grade II). The church itself is a Grade I Listed Building. From the gate you can glimpse 14thC Chaldon Court (Grade II*) through the trees to your left. From the gate walk down the lane keeping the graveyard on your left.

  • 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.

    Registered Charity No: 272098 ISSN 0585-9980 SURREY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY CASTLE ARCH, GUILDFORD GU1 3SX Tel/Fax: 01483 532454 Bulletin N u m b e r 3 1 5 N o v e m b e r 1 9 9 7 TITSEY VILLA HAS A TWIN Resistivity Survey with main features numbered NOTES Fresh Findings at Roman Titsey EMDavies Summary A programme of geophysical survey and keyhole excavations around the site of the Roman villa at Titsey in 1996 identified a second 'twin' villa and two other buildings; one certainly Roman; the other most probably so. The survey also identified a considerable area of contemporary courtyard, and some other significant features. Introduction Since G Leverson-Gower's 1864-5 excavations of the Roman villa on his estate, the site has remained undisturbed, and was largely earthed over as a conservation measure a decade or more ago. It is clear from a contemporary sketch that his excavations had been confined to the interior of the villa (Leveson-Gower 1869), which has since been classified as being of winged corridor type, perhaps with a hall-type inner structure (Smith 1978, 181). Coin^ndjjottery evidence suggests 3rd century occupation, possibly extending intoltie iS^nd and early 4th century as well (Bird 1987, 170-1, 175). The Titsey estate, in which the villa is sited, has a long and interesting history. Titsey Manor has Saxon and Norman antecedents, and was purchased by John Gresham (later Sir John, Lord Mayor of London) in 1534. So it remained until the early 19th century when it passed, through marriage, into the Leveson-Gower family.
