Holy Cross is an impressive church which traces its origins back to the 12th century and boasts the addition of two chapels in the 14th century.

In the churchyard, a poignant landmark resides in the form of the final resting place of Viscount Montgomery of Alamein.

Frensham Little Pond is a glorious place to hike. It is surrounded by pine trees and sandy hills so makes the perfect location for a longer jaunt taking in the local area or a hike round the pond is under 3km so is perfect for families with children or for a shorter, largely flat, hike. There is some sand and it can be quite rooty by the car park. There as been a lake here since the 13th century when the Bishop of Winchester decreed a dam be built. The resulting pond provided fish for when he was staying at nearby Farnham Castle.

The Celtic Cross on Gibbet Hill is closely related to the reason Gibbet Hill is so called. Three thieves were executed and their bodies hung on the hill as a warning to others. They murdered an unknown sailor they had befriended in the Red Lion in nearby Thursley. His memorial stone is closeby. Locals began to fear the area so in 1851, Sir William Erle erected this cross to show that it was safe.

Not to be confused with the similarly named Holy Cross church in Binstead, Isle of Wight, "the current building dates from the 12th Century but it is believed there may have been an earlier Saxon church on or near the site. Field Marshall Lord Montgomery, who was a regular worshipper at Holy Cross, is buried in the graveyard." Cit. https://www.benbinfro.co.uk/our-churches/binsted/ The building was modified in the 13th- and then again 15th-century and went through substantial restoration in 1863. It is Grade I listed since 1963. See https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101302151-church-of-the-holy-cross-binsted
