Rag Hill Road in Tatsfield, Surrey

Rag Hill Road, heading out of the village of Tatsfield in Surrey.

This is at the southern end of Tatsfield alongside Rag Hill Road. There is open country to the south although St Mary's Church is further along Church Hill on the crest of the North Downs. Ian Nairn writing in the Buildings of England: Surrey in 1962 says of Tatsfield "A curiosity. High up on the North Downs: part of the shack colony of Biggin Hill, over the Kent border. This grew up about 1920 with tiny houses almost lost in foliage, which ironically makes just as effective a suburban landscape as the most contrived planting at Welwyn or Hampstead Garden Suburb. The estate was originally advertised in London as 'Come to London Alps'. The old village green is at the south end of this." This is still largely the case, except that Biggin Hill is now in the London Borough of Bromley. St Mary's Church he describes as "Further south again, by itself right on the crest of the Downs (790 feet), with a magnificent view south over the Weald."
