Walks in England: Exploring Betchworth Village, Surrey
Today I am with Marq English exploring the village of Betchworth in Surrey and the church which was used as a location in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Betchworth is in the east of the Mole Valley Borough whose main town is Dorking; as it is mostly on the north bank the land slopes up towards the North Downs AONB. Below this range of hills the Mole flows briefly along the Vale of Holmesdale and the area around the tributary the Gadbrook is included in the village.

Places to see in ( Ripley - UK )
Ripley is a village in Surrey, England. The village has existed since Norman times – the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalen shows construction of circa 1160 there and supporting feet of fines and ecclesiastical records mention the village at the time. Ripley's sister village of Send to the south-west was the governing parish over the village for over 700 years until 1878 when they became two separate ecclesiastical parishes; they became separate civil parishes in 1933.
Lying on the main road from London to Portsmouth (from the 1930s referred to as the A3), Ripley was the post town for the whole area (including Woking) from 1813 to 1865. With the coming of the railway to what was then Woking Common in 1838, Ripley's importance diminished, and Woking became its post town in 1865. As motor traffic increased during the 1960s and the 1970s, the Portsmouth Road at Ripley became a notorious bottleneck, relieved by the building of the Ripley bypass in 1976. The A3 was renamed the B2215, and what has always been a major trunk road was expanded into six lanes north of Guildford, bypassing Send and Ripley.
The distance is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the M25 motorway. It is centred 6.2 miles (10.0 km) southeast of Woking, 6.8 miles (10.9 km) northeast of Guildford and 22.5 mi (36.2 km) southwest of London. Neighbouring villages Send and Send Marsh to the South-West and Ockham to the East have fewer shopping facilities.
The village church, St Mary Magdalen has a fine Norman chancel and is a Grade II* listed building (the second highest of the three categories). Among the more than 20 listed buildings and cottages in the village are Pinnocks Café the building the 'Ship Inn and Ye Old Sweet Shoppe', J Hartley Antiques, Sage Antiques (Green Cottage) and Clock House and Cellar Wines – Artisan Spirits, Boutique Wines, Delicatessen & Events (The Old Cellar) The building that Cellar Wines is located in, is a historical place of interest with a Blue Plaque located outside for the production of penicillin for the first time in the UK (possibly the world) for civilian use by Kennith White in 1944. Cedar House Gallery, in another listed building, Cedar House often has exhibitions and stocks predominantly watercolour and oil landscapes.
The village includes a coaching inn, The Talbot Hotel, which dates back to 1453, as well as Drake's restaurant, which has been awarded a Michelin star and 3 AA rosettes. The village high street includes a small supermarket, cobblers and bakery. Aside from the Talbot Hotel/Inn there is the Jovial Sailor as a further larger than average, food-serving public house. Two other pubs in the village are The Anchor and The Half Moon.

St Mary's Church, Byfleet, Surrey - Aerial Survey on 5th April 2016
A video of St Mary'schurch, Byfleet, Surrey, produced in 4K (UHD) using a DJI Phantom 4 - This Grade I Listed building dates back to around 1280AD although major alterations were made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The surrounding churchyard has seen around 3,000 burials and a recent survey project by the Byfleet Heritage Society has so far recorded details of many of these on an interactive map and database.
In the Three Acre Field to the west of the church a Vickers Warwick aeroplane made a remarkable crash landing beside Rectory Lane on 2nd January 1945 having suffered an engine failure on take-off from nearby Brooklands Aerodrome. Vickers test pilot Bob Handasyde and his flight test observer and Byfleet resident Bob Rampling luckily escaped injury but the Warwick was badly damaged.
