The Castle Keep, Guildford - The mound on which the Keep stands was probably an Anglo-Saxon fortified hill. The Keep is said to belong to the time of Henry II. One of the strongholds of King John, it was surrendered to Prince Louis, the Dauphin of France, together with the castles of Reigate and Farnham in 1216. The domestic apartments were improved by Henry III: it afterwards passed into the care of the Sheriffs of Surrey who used it as a prison. In 1885 the Castle and adjacent Bowling green were purchased by the Town Council: the grounds laid out and beautified, and opened free to the public for ever, in 1888.

The Legend of the Silent Pool - Extract from 'The Keep' telling the story of King John trying to capture a young girl bathing in the pool; and her subsequent drowning with her brother.

'A Little Chapel Grey with Years and Bleached by Sun and Rain' - The historical edifice is dedicated to St. Martha and all holy martyrs, and stands alone on an eminence formerly called Martyr's Hill from a legend that some pious early Christians suffered death and were buried here. Of the actual date of its erection, no record exists; but it became attached to the community of Augustinian monks of Newark Priory in 1262. For 350 years Pilgrims to Canterbury visited the Church, and Martin Tupper often mentions it in his book, 'Stephan Langton', and suggested that Stephan Langton was interred here. In course of time it fell into decay and ruin, but was restored to its present state in 1948. G. D.

The Chantries, or Pilgrim's Way, Guildford - A romantic and beautiful roadway, with a delightful shady avenue of trees, stetching along on the Pilgrim's Way, opposite St. Caterine's Hill, and leading towards St. Martha's. Hereabouts, after safely crossing the River Wey, and the marshy tract beyond, Pilgrims to 'St. Beckett's Tomb' would reform their processions, Monks and Friars began to sing their hymns or chants, and the company again moved slowly forward on its pilgrimage to Canterbury.

Old St Martha's - Extract of poem by Martin Tupper describing the history of the mount from ancient Britons, Romans, Saxons and Normans and visits by Pilgrims.
