S10281 The Post Windmill

None

Text: The post windmill, originally built at Lowfield Heath circa 1740, working until the 1880's. A trust was formed to rescue the mill and it took 13 years to dismantle, repair and re-erect at a new site in Charlwood. Now in working order with a small visitor centre in the roundhouse.

S20622 The Ancient Bell in Chaldon Church, Surrey

None

Text: The Ancient Bell in Chaldon Church, Surrey. The Oldest Church Bell in Surrey.

In shape like a common flower-pot, but the crown is rather spherical than flat, the sides almost straight and not fining off into a sharp angle below the sound bow, but ending with an abrupt curve, and apparently of the same thickness all the way down. (Diameter 20 1/2 in.) Certainly not later than 1250. The inscription, in Lombardic letters, is CAPANA : BEATI : PAVLI
