House Clearance in Capel
Capel, or Ewekerne
The ecclesiastical parish of Capel lies in the Weald just north of the Surrey/Sussex border. Until the 19th century it included the small villages of Beare Green and Coldharbour. The A24 used to pass through its main street but it is now bypassed. At Domesday in 1086, the settlement formed the southern part of the Manor of Dorking.
The church was built in the 12th century as a chapel of ease attached to Dorking thus giving the village its present name. Before
House Clearance in Henley Park
Henley Park with links to Normandy
Although the main thread in our story is the transition of Normandy from a small agricultural hamlet to a dormitory village, there has been a certain amount of industry based here. The village has even boasted such exotic activities as an imitation jewellery factory at Vaglefield Farm in the 1940s, but this did not last very long after local villagers complained about it.
The local history of Vokes, probably the largest employer in Normandy, goes

House Clearance in Burpham
Extracted from Michael Drakefords Book A history of Abbotswood, Burpham
Long before Christianity, much worked flint from the Stone Age was deposited around the area where the Guildford fire station is at Ladymead. There is yet further evidence of very early history on Weylea Farm. The River Wey was very slow running and the land beside it in the valley was marshy and susceptible to frequent flooding. This will have meant that the nearest dry land was on the higher slopes at the western

House Clearance in Burgh Heath
Remembering in Burgh Heath
George Cole was the new Curate in charge of St. Mary’s Church from 1919, and one of his first tasks was to plan a suitable memorial to the men of Burgh Heath who lost their lives in the Great War. The residents of Burgh Heath, unlike those in Banstead, opted not for a stone memorial but for a village hall. Hence the War Memorial Hall was built opposite the village green.
The Hall was built on land donated by the Colman family, (of Colman’s

Brookwood, to die for
For nearly 90 years, from 1854 to 1941, the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company ran funeral trains transporting coffins and mourners from London Waterloo to its two private stations in Brookwood Cemetery near Woking, Surrey.
Today that Victorian-sounding company is no more and Bookwood Station attracts commuters rather than funeral parties, with the fastest journey time between Brookwood and London Waterloo a mere 36 minutes. The station is so busy

House Clearance in Brockham
Brockham, a hamlet by a brook
Brockham was originally named ‘Brook Ham’ from the establishment of a small hamlet on the River Mole (no more than a ‘brook’ in those days perhaps). General distortion and colloquilisation over the years, along with a tenuous link with badgers commonly known as a Brock – being the ancient name for the animal – in the local area have resulted in the modern day version of the name which was first officially used in about

Box Hill, one for the bucket list
A view that stretches for 26 miles. That is a pretty impressive statement, one that can only really be confirmed if you have seen and marvelled at it yourself. Aged 11, sat on Boxhill, I spent a whole hour watching the planes at Gatwick take off with hypnotic regularity whilst basking in the sun surrounded by wild flowers and butterflies. An affection for the beautiful British countryside started that day!

Ash Green, two manors
There is no mention of a mill under Henley in Domesday Book, but it is certain that a mill existed at Ash from comparatively early times, for in 1322 the Abbot of Chertsey ordered a new windmill to be built at Ash. Windmills were comparatively new in England then, and it may have been in place of a small water-mill of earlier date. There seems no later record of it.
The two manors existed. Ash (Esche, 7th century; Asshe, Assche, 14th century) shares with the
