Looking across Downs Road. The footpath is a continuation of Stainers Lane, and runs to Lower Road. It was doubtless there long before the Close.

Site of former Tin Tabernacle in Downs Road
The building on the left is the village hall. Beyond it, screened off, is the place where there was a corrugated iron church built in 1909, used till 1996, and dismantled in 2006. The church is still shown on Google Earth and OS maps. It lives on at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum, see http://www.wealddown.co.uk/News/news-release-south-wonston-church.htm
For more on the history of this church see http://www.southwonston-church.co.uk/History%20of%20church.html
It appears that the rector paid £8 out of his own pocket for this plot of land in 1909. It's asking price in 2008 was around £150,000 which explains why it has not so far been possible to use it as a car park for the adjacent village hall.
