  • 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 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.

  • The Chalk Area of North-East Surrey
    188 THE CHALK AREA OF NORTH-EAST SURREY. By GEORGE WILLIAM YOUNG. (Read June 2nd, 1905.) LTHOUGH one might consider that the last word had A not been said about the Chalk formation as a whole, yet it might be fairly thought that if there was an area in the country which had been thoroughly explored and its structure accurately recorded, that area would be the Chalk of North-East Surrey. But notwithstanding its nearness to London, the number of observers who have given their attention, and the frequency with which some of the best-known sections have been visited by this and other scientific societies, I venture to think that the facts I am about to lay before you will show that even in this area there is still work to be done. When the first of the valuable series of papers on the White Chalk by Dr. Rowe appeared in our PROCEEDINGS my interest was aroused, and I looked forward with considerable anticipation to the publication of the last Volume of the Geological Survey Memoir on the Cretaceous formation, which was to deal with the Upper Chalk. With this volume I must confess I was somewhat disappointed. I fully admit that in many respects it is an admirable work. The labour entailed in its compilation must have been enormous. The wide area with which it deals; the valuable and detailed account of the microscopic structure of Chalk; the useful information and statistics it gives about the economic products and water supply; the exhaustive list of fossils and the bibliography given in the appendices; all testify to the great pains that have been bestowed upon it.

His tally of recovered swords was then two compared to the one of his colleague. He later retrieved a ‘set of hub-caps’ that proved to be a votive deposit of late Roman pewter plates. (see p19) BETCHWORTH CASTLE: Recent research and access arrangements Martin Higgins During 2011 significant conservation work took place at the ruins of Betchworth Castle near Dorking. Scaffolding allowed the first close inspection of the medieval building and has thrown up some interesting questions. The schedule entry for the site describes it as a fortified manor house. Few of these survive nationally, and this is the only example in Surrey of the nine that once existed1. In 1449 its owner, Sir Thomas Browne, was granted a licence to crenelate and embattle his manor of Bechesworth and this is the date traditionally ascribed to the present fabric. The licence repeated one of 1379 and it may be that work was undertaken on both or neither occasion: other documentary sources are silent on the matter. Not all fortified manor houses had licences from the Crown, but having one meant that nobody could challenge the owner’s right to call his home a castle. Two early images of the castle survive. One, made by John Aubrey in 1673 (illustrated), shows it from the north with a large tower - interpreted as a chamber block - to the east (left) and a tall tower over a gatehouse to the west.

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. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.
