Cherkley Court - home of Lord Beaverbrook,
Cherkley Court and its gardens near Leatherhead in Surrey were restored from 1999-2006 - with the help of a blank cheque.
It was the Grade 2 listed family home of multi-millionaire Sir Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook the newspaper magnate and Cabinet Minister. In its heyday of the mid 20th century, he used to entertain on a grand scale with such notable guests and friends as Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Rudyard Kipling. The building has its own purpose-built cinema, library and collection of newspaper cartoons. This video shows the springtime views over the Mole gap towards Ranmore Common, the formal gardens and fountains, the new folly - a shell grotto, the kitchen garden and beehives, alongside the splendid architectural details of the restored mansion and a flag (with a red chicken?) flying above it.
It is located just by the Beaverbrook roundabout, named after him.

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.

The Silent Pool near Shere in Surrey all dried up on 28 March 2012
We went to the Silent Pool near Shere, Surrey on way back from a visit to Guildford on 28 March 2012. It was very silent. Not a slop! All that could be heard [for all it`s history] was the baying of hounds in a nearby kennel. Bring on the April showers :-)
In December 1926, when crime writer Agatha Christie infamously disappeared, it was feared that she had drowned in the Silent Pool after her car was discovered at nearby Newlands Corner.
No fear of drowning there now then!
