Set amongst green farmland, Alfold is a charming Surrey village with a village shop and a pub a little walk away. Land around the village would have been used for glass making until the beginning of the 17th century when charcoal was forbidden to be used in glass production. The charcoal would have been used to create gunpowder instead.
Alfold was an affluent village with four manor houses which belong to various lords. You can still see many historical buildings in the village, as well as the stocks and whipping post!
