- Today I am joined by Marq English to help me explore the intriguing village of Tilford in Surrey. We are here to investigate two medieval bridges built by monks from Waverley Abbey, just down the road, a couple of Pill Boxes from the Second World War and an 800 year oak tree.
Why not join us in our jovial explorations.

Great video, Marq and Richard. Very interesting village - love the bridges!
Thanks Matthew!
Thanks Marq & Richard! Lots of interesting things to see. Loved the old bridges (minus the safety barriers on the 1st), & the history of the pill boxes. I felt so sad for the 800 year old tree!!! Bandaged up w/ all that rusty metal.😢 You'll have to ask Julia to go back there for me & give it a hug!
Julia will like that!
The Barley Mow first pub I bought myself a drink in aged 14. The river and green are a lovely place on a hot summers day,. As a boy the river there was full of trout and native crayfish, you missed out another local monk built feature Stockbridge pond so cooling on a sweltering day.
An enjoyable light hearted walk,
Always fun with Marq!
Lovely village for exploring, definitely the Way to go.
Thanks very much
Really enjoyed this one Richard. Thank you to you and Marq. I enjoyed a nice visit to there about 5+ years ago with an uncle and aunt and had such a lovely day. It was a Sunday and there was a lovely English cricket match being played on the green. Enjoyed discovering the same interesting sights you showed here. Fond memories. Thank you again as always. Keep 'em coming :)
So pleased you enjoyed the video Harold - it is a lovely place.
I have done a simmilar walk !
I have been in that river
Enjoyed the vid. I’m surprised how young those oak trees are for their size.
How about the two of you visiting and filming the medieval 'doom' painting in Chaldon, Surrey. If you have not seen it you will be astonished!
Wow - thanks for the tip!
That village is a great place to live, them bridges wonderful and so are the oaks. well done you to 👍
Thanks so much George!
Where is your favourite tree?
Richard Vobes - I love the ancient beech tree known as the domesday tree in st Leonard’s Forest - it’s in the grounds of Forest Grange - Glenn took some pics of it on the group recently
There is a weeping beech at Knaphill near Woking in Surrey, sadly not visible from public land.its not particularly old. Planted in the 1820s. Not too impressive until you realise that the weeping beech was commercially released in the mid 1830s. This makes the Knaphill beech the grand daddy of every weeping beech commercially grown in the world since. It also covers an area of half an acre.
I will have to look out for it!
Wow - a shame we can't get to see it!
What an enjoyable walk with delightful bridges. That lock up looks interesting. I think it was used as secure storage for something rather than a gaol. The bricks looked no older than 18th cent.
The internal bricks look a lot older than the more recent exterior ones.
Some fascinating histories. Great vid as always matey. :)
Cheers matey!
Nice video.....i'm too intrigued as to what the little building at the end is....or what it was for....food storage maybe....or grain storage etc....i take it back then it was all farming/ agriculture land of some sort...hope you find out what it was used for!!
Probably for storage or an old lock I should think. But it is intriguing.
Thank you Richard !
However, there is more to Tilford :-
Famously, Cricket is played on the triangular green in front
of the Barley Mow pub on Sunday afternoons .Nothing better
than watching on a sunny afternoon with a cold pint or two, in
hand !
The black and white Village Institute Hall was one of Lutyens
very first commissions, done when he was still a young man
in late 1890's !
Tilford Rural Life Centre is well worth a visit ! Lots to see and do .
All Saints Church is a delight too, just off the Green !
Tilford as such, is a ' sprawling ' village , but is brought
together on the Green and in the Institute at various times
during the year !
Where to next chaps ? 🤔🤔
Yes, we didn't do the whole village justice really. I have written to the Rural Life Centre - not heard anything back yet!
Loved the bridges.
You got to love a pack horse bridge, haven't you?
A lack of observation there! The plaque by the old oak-the last line started with Girth and Marq didn’t crack up! As for Shilly Shally,my uncle went out with her! Very nearly married too! Why has my nose just grown longer??
shame you couldn't get into the pillbox or the "lockup". thank you, Marq and Richard!
Yes, sorry about not being able to access all areas! :)
The pillbox is part of the GHQ line that ran along that section of the river Way and on. What better village green, a church, cricket green and a pub to sit outside drink beer and watch cricket
Thanks John - a lovely place to sit and while the day away!
excellent video..i did think the little structure by the road maybe a Toll booth though not totally sure
Oh yes, it could be.
Love the video of course but how long have all those red and white 'car doors' been nailed to that beautiful bridge? Needs a bit of sensible work done on that. Nice one chaps :-)
There was an accident there a few months ago and a car near went into the river - some corrective work about to happen.
