I am continuing my ad hoc jaunt along the Greensand Way in Surrey with the lovely Matthew Holdsworth. This time we pick up from where we left off in Betchworth, a tiny village at the foot of the Surrey Hills and walk to Buckland to the ancient church there.
Wikipedia tell us: The Greensand Way is a long distance path of 108 miles (174 km) in southeast England, from Haslemere in Surrey to Hamstreet in Kent.[1][2] It follows the Greensand Ridge along the Surrey Hills and Chart Hills. The route is mostly rural, passing through woods, and alongside fruit orchards and hop farms in Kent and links with the Stour Valley Walk near Pluckley in Kent. The trail was opened on 15 June 1980 and is jointly managed by Surrey and Kent Councils who fully updated it in 2012 (route, waymarking, online guide).

Silly thing to say really but luckily I've never had a shock off an electric fence despite working on a farm years ago where we used to use them. Last summer we were walking in Eyam and my nephew was trying to get me to touch one. I wimped out and I said I'd do it on the way back which after taking ages to pluck up the courage I did but it was turned off. That windmill was extraordinary.

Beautiful scenery. I have never seen a wind powered wood mill before...a great invention. I will try and visit it during this years annual Heritage Open days. It’s great that it has been renovated and kept in working condition 👍

That electric fence made your hair stand on end Richard! That was a simple but very interesting video ( possibly because it's local to where I used to live) You and Matthew seem to work well together, he's very knowledgable and it's really good to see him more relaxed in front of the camera now, there's clearly good synergy between you. Thanks for your continued hard work.

Hi Richard...another goody...but we keep on seeing these lovely old churches, almost all restored by the Victorians, inveterate restorers and "improvers" it seems...it always reminds me of Betjeman's affectionate parody "Hymn":- The Church’s Restoration In eighteen-eighty-three Has left for contemplation Not what there used to be. How well the ancient woodwork Looks round the Rect’ry hall, Memorial of the good work Of him who plann’d it all. He who took down the pew-ends And sold them anywhere But kindly spared a few ends Work’d up into a chair. O worthy persecution Of dust! O hue divine! O cheerful substitution, Thou varnished pitch-pine! Church furnishing! Church furnishing! Sing art and crafty praise! He gave the brass for burnishing He gave the thick red baize, He gave the new addition, Pull’d down the dull old aisle, - To pave the sweet transition He gave th’ encaustic tile. Of marble brown and veinèd He did the pulpit make; He order’d windows stainèd Light red and crimson lake. Sing on, with hymns uproarious, Ye humble and aloof, Look up! and...oh how glorious He has restored the roof.

cogidubnus1953 - I think Buckland church was in such a state that it would have fallen down had the Victorians not got to it - hopefully my next video with Richard will be us going round Buckland and the church

The next part of your walk to Reigate Heath will take you on a footpath past a place where I used to live called Shagbrook. That is where the Buckland Bends are which are so dangerous everyone who lived in the area kept a pile of blankets by their front door and first aid equipment so they could easily go out to help people when there was a crash. Sadly many people were killed there. It was the main road before the M25 was built.
