Roe Hill
This leads up to the cemetery. The bungalows on both sides are Council-sponsored housing for elderly persons, now in the hands of a housing trust.
The name of the road was originally Roger Lane; the current name refers to an old-established family of market gardeners.

Woodborough Institute
Built in 1827 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel.
By the 1880s it was too small for the needs of the congregation and the plot where the current church stands was bought for £20. Thereafter it became an Institute and after various changes of ownership came into the control of the current Trust in 1950, with the following provisions*:
'For the purposes of physical and mental training, recreational and social, moral and intellectual development through the medium of a reading and recreation room. Lectures, classes, games, whist drives, youth club recreations and entertainments. Provision to be particularly made for the entertainment and use of the Institute by the old folk of the Parish of Woodborough, and to be used generally for the benefit of the inhabitants of Woodborough and its immediate vicinity without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions.... The control of the Institute to be entirely non-sectarian. The Institute may be used by any political parties for whist drives or other entertainments with the consent of the (Trustees) but no political speeches of any kind whatsoever shall be made in the Institute at any time'.
It is still in use as a village meeting room.

The Four bells is a Neo Tudor pub dating from 1927. Most of its architectural references are to a style local to the Weald of Kent and Sussex. The rooflines are intriguing. For view of the front see Image
