Buildings and Structures of Architectural and Historic Interest in the Parish of Ewhurst, SurreyCompiled by Janet BalchinEwhurst History Society 6th July 2017CONTENTSNotable BuildingsGazetteerReferences & BibliographyNotable Buildings and StructuresA branch of the Roman road, Stane Street, runs diagonally through almost the whole length of the parish. A tile kiln was discovered and excavated near Coneyhurst Gill in 1923 and a villa was discovered at Rapsley in 1956 and excavated in the 1960s.The Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul (Grade I) has Early Norman and 13th century work. The tower was rebuilt in 1839, to a design by Robert Ebbels, following the collapse of the earlier tower. The church is approached by a lych-gate from The Mount. Also on The Mount is the War Memorial, which records the names of the Fallen of the First World War. The Recreation Ground was dedicated as the village War Memorial for the Second World War. A flag-pole and small plinth bears the names of The Fallen. A separate War Memorial for Ellen’s Green is in the Ellen’s Green Memorial Hall. This dates from the First World War, with names from the Second World War added.Opposite The Mount is the early Victorian village school, opened in 1846. The school is one of the oldest in Surrey still occupying its original building.Ewhurst Baptist Church, formerly a Congregational chapel was built in 1908 in local stone with leaded light windows.The parish has a good survival of timber framed buildings dating from the medieval and early modern periods. Many of these have been recorded by the Domestic Buildings Research Group (DBRG). Around 12 hall houses and 17 smoke bay houses have been identified, while several other houses would benefit from more detailed study.The oldest complete house is probably White Hart House (Grade II*), an important early house dating from around 1420. Although not complete, the hall bays of Hoyle Cottage also indicate an early date. Other houses with traces of earlier builds include Coneyhurst Manor and Old Farm, both of which have early cross wings, although the original halls have been lost.It is sometimes possible to get an exact date for a building through dendrochronology. Only one house in Ewhurst has been dated this way, Wyndrums, which has been dated to 1571. Occasionally, houses have date stones, such as Wykehurst Farm, where the added cross wing has a stone dated 1691. Dates sometimes relate to particular features such as the window dated 1756 at Wyndrums, but this is the date the window was glazed, not the date the house was built. Documentary evidence shows that many of the settlements in Ewhurst are earlier than the surviving buildings, such as the 16th century farmhouse at Coverwood, which is mentioned in the Pipe Rolls for 1165.Houses such as the manor houses of Somersbury Manor and Coneyhurst Manor are high status buildings. This is reflected in architectural details such as close studding, decorative braces, jetties etc. Some high status houses are thought to have also had a non-domestic function, such as White Hart which had a solar accessible from the outside by a private stair. In the medieval period the ultimate status symbol was a moat. The former Moated House Farm was abandoned in the early 20th century, but the moat remains intact.The survival of early houses is an indicator of changes in wealth. In the medieval and Tudor periods the inhabitants were prosperous and houses were well built, but later the economy of the area declined and there was less incentive or available money to rebuild in a more fashionable style.In addition to the more substantial homes of yeoman farmers, a number of very small houses have been identified, which are of particular interest, as the homes of the poorer members of society are more ephemeral. Small (one open bay and one floored bay) hall houses include Bildens and Oak Cottage, and small smoke bay houses include Mascalls and both Well Cottages.Some houses are built, or partially built, of the local sandstone. Coxland is a substantial stone house dating from the 17thcentury, built of large semi-coursed blocks. Rumbeams is built from random rubble, which gives a decorative appearance. As the local stone is soft, most stone houses have brick quoins and window surrounds. The south wall of Ivy Cottage is a particularly good example of galleting, where ironstone chips are pressed into the mortar. A number of buildings have roofs of Horsham stone, including The Parish Church, Pipers Croft, Little Crown and Hill House Farm. Examples of stone flagged floors can be found at Hillhouse Farm and Maybanks. Horsham stone with fossilized ripples is highly prized for paving as can be seen on the approach to the Parish Church.Brick was not used much before the 18th century, except for chimneys. By the 19th century, brick had become the most popular building material, with clay tiles used for roofing and also for tile hanging on walls. Bricks were made locally at Hones brickworks in Horsham Lane and tiles at Swallow’s tile works.During the 18th century the area declined because of agricultural recession and consequently the parish has very few fine Georgian buildings. One of the better examples is Maybanks, but this was the home of a prosperous farming family rather than a gentleman’s residence.The early 19th century saw the beginnings of gentrification. Garlands was remodelled as a cottage ornée in the fashionable picturesque style in the 1830s. The Rectory was remodelled by Robert Ebbels in the gothic style, with decorative gables, pinnacles and cloisters, as illustrated in Brayley’s History of Surrey 1841. At Baynards, the new owner, the Rev. Thurlow, commissioned Thomas Rickman to remodel and extend the Tudor house.From the 1870s, improved road & rail communications, and a growing appreciation of the wild Surrey landscape, encouraged wealthy people to move into the area. Many commissioned well-known architects to design their new country houses and the south facing slopes of Pitch Hill and Holmbury Hill boast an eclectic mix ranging from grand mansions to Arts & Crafts cottages to exotic villas. Notable Victorian and Edwardian houses include Woolpits by George & Peto, Coneyhurst by Philip Webb, Long Copse by Alfred Hoare Powell (with interior woodwork by Ernest Gimson), Hurtwood Edge by Arthur Bolton, and Coverwood by Gerald Calcott Horsley of the Art Workers Guild. There are two houses by Christopher Turnor - Copse Hill and Hurtwood House; and also two houses by Sir Ernest Newton - Lukyns and High Wykehurst. In the inter-war period Marylands (Grade II*) was designed by the modernist architect Oliver Hill.The 20thcentury also saw the transformation of several old farms, such as Ellens and Oldhouse, into desirable residences and former farmworkers cottages also became popular, sometimes knocking two cottages into one.Gardens were an important feature. The grounds at Woolpits were laid out by Edward Kemp. Gertrude Jekyll designed the gardens at Lukyns and corresponded with Powell on the planting of the terrace at Marylands. The terraced gardens at Hurtwood House were influenced by the gardens of Monserrate at Sintra. The planting at Coverwood Lakes is an important collection of rhododendrons and azaleas.The first social housing in the parish was at Coneyhurst Cottages, which were built after the First World War. Downhurst Road was built in 1947, after the Second World War. Being a rural parish, Ewhurst also has a large number of old barns; 39 of which were recorded by the SPAB in their ‘Domesday’ survey in 1988. A particularly fine group of barns, stables and cartsheds can be found at Hillhouse Farm. Barns built wholly on staddle stones are unusual and The Old Rectory barn is the best example in Surrey. Staddle stones are more commonly found in granaries such as those at Coneyhurst Manor and Losely.Sayers Croft was built in 1940 as a camp school and was used for evacuees during the war. It is now a field centre. The buildings were designed by the Scottish modernist architect T. S. Tait. Ewhurst Mill is a tower mill, which, at approx. 250m above sea level, is the highest windmill in the county. It is now converted for residential use.The parish has two purpose built public houses, the Bulls Head and the Windmill Inn, both built in 1908 by Clemence and Moon of Guildford. Other former public houses and ale-houses, The Old Post Office, The Wheatsheaf, the White Hart and the Crown Inn are now private houses.The village has a number of community buildings including, The Village Hall, Village Club, Cricket Pavillion and EYSC building.Sadly, one of the most notable buildings in the parish has been lost. Baynards was an impressive Tudor mansion built in 1588 and remodelled in the 1830s. By the 1970s it had fallen into disrepair and the main house burnt down in 1979. However, many associated buildings and structures still survive on the estate. Also lost is the Youth Hostel at Ewhurst Green, and the old Tillingbourne Bus Garage. The Youth Hostel, designed by the architect H. L. Vicars Lobb, was purpose built in 1936 and was hailed at the time as a model building of its kind. The bus garage in The Street was a good example of a small rural bus garage.Historic structures, such as street furniture, have an important impact on the character of the built environment of the parish. The Village Sign opposite the Bulls Head was erected to commemorate the Queen’s Coronation in 1953. The Village Notice board at Hazelbank was erected in 2000 to commemorate the Millennium. The parish has four traditional red K6 Telephone boxes and a number of post boxes. The only traditional pillar box stands outside the former Post Office in Hazelbank and bears the cypher of George VI. However, the first Post Office in the village was at Deblins Green, where the wall box dates from the reign of Edward VII. Also of note are the two Sewage Pumping Stations. These small buildings have been thoughtfully designed with interesting architectural elements.GAZETTEERThe parish has a great many Victorian and Edwardian houses and it is not possible to list all of them individually. These include individual houses and also former lodges and ancillary buildings such as stables to larger houses. Those that have been included on this list are mainly included for their group value, but the lack of a mention does not imply that the buildings are not considered to be of historical or architectural interest.Airlea – see GreenfieldsAlwynsFurzen Lane, Ellen’s GreenTQ 108356Framed cottage, 17th century with 20th century additions.Grade IIApril Cottage - see Farm Cottages, ConeyhurstBakers Cottage and Primrose CottageShere Road, EwhurstTQ 090409Framed pair of non-matching cottages, 17th centuryRecommended for Grade II Listing/or as Building of Local Merit for Architectural Interest and Group ValueBarn HillShere Road, EwhurstTQ 083418Converted Barn, late 18th centuryBarn on former nursery site, converted for residential use.Unusual mansard roof, thought to be the only example of its type in Surrey and Sussex.DBRG News, Oct 2015BaynardsHorsham RoadTQ 086368i) site of Mansion House 1588Site of medieval deer park, 1447.Mansion house built by Sir George More of Losely, 1588.Extensively remodelled by Thomas Rickman for Rev.
