Weather vane on roof of Heathfield Lodge (see Image). I had originally assumed that the vane was intended to represent nearby Reigate Heath Windmill (see Image), but I was subsequently contacted by a former resident of the lodge to say that she had had it made in 1992 by a Sussex blacksmith to commemorate her husband's 50th birthday and the fact that it could represent the windmill on Reigate Heath was purely accidental.
