Alburyhistory.Org.Uk Our Archives 8261 and 8261ADD, at Surrey History Centre Albury History Society - alburyhistory.org.uk Our archives 8261 and 8261ADD, at Surrey History Centre SURREY HISTORY CENTRE SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL 130 GOLDSWORTH ROAD, WOKING 8261 ALBURY HISTORY SOCIETY: RECORDS, (1565)-2006 Provenance Deposited by Mr R Casbard, outgoing chairman of Albury History Society, in January 2008. Introduct ion Albury History Society was established in 1971 as the result of a growing interest in the preservation of the parish's records following a well-received talk on the history of Albury by Miss Helen Lloyd. Dr Maurice Burton chaired the society's first meeting in the village hall on 8 March 1971. The president of the society is the Duke of Northumberland. The records This collection comprises records accumulated by members of Albury History Society that cover all aspects of life in the parish of Albury, including Brook, Farley Green, Farley Heath, Little London and Newlands Corner. The records include papers relating to Albury parish churches and the Apostolic Catholic Church; local charities, schools, businesses and organisations. The numerous papers of three of Albury History Society's key members - Maurice Burton, Helen Lloyd and William Baverstock Day - and of earlier local historian, Olive Heath, are listed in their own sub-series but also appear in other parts of the archive. The collection contains many donations from Albury residents. Arrangement Many of the records were originally arranged in numbered bundles and contained typed or handwritten content lists which did not necessarily correspond with the actual contents. In many cases, no dates were assigned to items, so estimates have been made. Where possible, the arrangement has been kept; otherwise, cross-referencing has been made to associated records.

  • Peaslake and the Hurtwood
    point your feet on a new path Peaslake and the Hurtwood Distance: 9½ km=6 miles easy walking Region: Surrey Date written: 6-oct-2013 Author: Schwebefuss Date revised: 23-nov-2015 Refreshments: Peaslake Last update: 26-sep-2020 Map: Explorer 145 (Guildford) but the map in this guide is all your need Problems, changes? 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, hills, village, views In Brief The Hurtwood is a vast area of magnificent forest, already seen on several other of our routes. This walk comes out of the woodland to give you views of the North Downs, visits a star village for refreshments (ring 01306 730851 to enquire at the Hurtwood Inn ) and returns to the deep woods with high views to the south. ? There are one or two patches of nettles and brambles on this walk in summer when wearing shorts might be unwise. A number of mountain ? bikers use the bridle paths and churn up the ground in a few places after rain when you may be glad of boots. Apart from that, any kind of attire and sensible footwear should be fine. There is one short steep section where you may wish for a walking pole. This walk is perfect for your dog. The walk begins at the Hurtwood Control car park 12 (Reynards Hill), grid ref TQ 072425, www.w3w.co/ denote.lazy.adjusting . There are no nearby dwellings but the postcode for Ewhurst Windmill is GU6 7NL and for Cranleigh it is GU6 7NJ .

Renowned throughout the district for their speed of operation. Note the length of the carrots from the sandy soil in the Elstead/Thursley area, and also the special tools used as in the hand of the gentleman on the right. COUNCIL NEWS Moated site, South Parit, Grayswood. Discussions relating to the proposed gift of the Scheduled Ancient Monument by the owner to the Society, first reported in Bulletin 253, are progressing well. Present proposals envisage the Society ultimately acquiring the freehold of the site, part of which would be leased to the Surrey Wildlife Trust. The Society would be responsible for maintaining the site and arranging for limited public access. It now seems probable that this exciting project will become a reality and a small committee has been formed to investigate and advise Council on the complexities involved. Council has expressed sincere and grateful thanks to the owner of South Park for her generosity. Castle Training Dig. Guildford Borough Council has approved a second season of excavation at the Castle, which will take place between the 8th and 28th July 1991. Those interested in taking part should complete the form enclosed with this issue of the Bulletin and return it to the Society. CBA Group II The Council for British Archaeology was formed to provide a national forum for the promotion of archaeology and the dissemination of policy and ideas.

Between these markers in London’s history, which span some 300 years, we see the arrival, ascendancy and subsequent dominance of Saxon migrants over the indigenous population of Romano-Celts. An important aspect of this event, the mechanics of which have yet to be fully understood and explained, was the replacement of the native language by Anglo-Saxon (Old English). The authority of ‘English’ over the native tongue is most evident in the distribution of Saxon place-names across England, which predominate over names of Roman or Celtic origin. This is well evident in the London region, where few names reflect a Romano-Celtic past. Yet archaeology has shown the abundance of Roman settlement activity around London. On the Surrey side, settlement activity has been located at a number of places, such as Croydon, Merton, Carshalton, Beddington, Putney and Peckham. Most likely these settlements were recognised by their own particular name, along with others places that are suggested by the scatter of Roman pottery, coin and tile etc., found across this part of London.
