Hello Jane

We had a marvellous time in Surrey. You're right - St. Martin's has not many gravestones at all - but it is a beautiful church and I was glad to see the church where my grandparents were married.

We met some wonderful people from Westcott, Dorking and Leatherhead history groups who went out of their way to help us! I am already planning my next trip.

Hi

I'm glad you enjoyed Surrey and had an enjoyable trip. For a county that is so close to London and therefore well within London's commutor belt, it is still a county with plenty of countryside, villages and reasonably sized towns that mostly retain parts at least of their historic centres.


Regards
