Worth stopping off to look at the ancient yew tree.

This church was built in 1882 by Arthur Blomfield, although the south aisle, the tower, and a small room on the west were added in 1914.

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was rebuilt in 1431, although the original 14th-century tower remains. There had been a church on the site for some centuries before the 14th-century building and is Grade I listed.

Lingfield nature reserve is a mixture of meadows, hedges, and woodland copses and also boast a wetland area with a number of ponds and small pools, an orchard, a wildflower meadow and a butterfly garden.

The oak tree is thought to be over 400 years old, sitting next to 'the cage' which was used as a temporary jail for minor felons in the 1700s and 1800s

This massive, hollow yew tree stands guard over St Georges churchyard in Crowhurst and is thought to be some 4000 years old. The first record of its girth comes in a parish note of 1630, when it was measured at 30 feet (9.1m). John Evelyn in 1664 recorded that there was a yew “in the churchyward of Crowhurst in the county of Surrey, which I am told is ten yards in compass”, but modern measurement states 34 feet. Further recorded by John Aubrey in his Natural History & Antiquities Of The County Of Surrey (1718/1719) the yew boasts a hollow interior space of about 6 feet, with a doorway and wooden door. https://www.crowhurstonline.uk/The_Yew_Tree_19095.aspx
