Thanks peter. Now visited broadmoor cottages and what a beautiful place. Quite a way down the lane from wooton. Told my aunt about it and she remembered living there and having to walk up and down the lane to school. Looking forward to another trip soon and my cousin in redhill plans a day out going around all the many villages in the area.

I think that you will find the cottages that you are looking via the google maps link.

Hi, been on another trip to Surrey and visited Gomshall and took one of my sons to Beare Green to see where his Grandad used to live. Went to see my Aunt (Dad’s sister) who now lives in Teddington and she said my Dad wasn’t born in Gomshall but couldn’t remember where he was born. My poor Aunt in now 92 and finds it difficult to remember so far back so I contacted Surrey County Council for a copy of his birth certiicate and he was actually born in a place called Broadmoor Cottages in Wooton? found Wooton on the map but not the cottages – anyone can tell me where they are located as i am due to travel back down in March to see my son in Albury. Thanks

Hi, I have visited your village on a number of occasions in recent years for activities held in the village hall, I thought what a lovely well kept village. To my surprise I discovered that my GGrandfather Charles Ansell lived in one of two White Hall Cottages (next to the White Hart Inn) with his father Levi and mother and at the time 2 siblings. I was hoping that somebody might have information relating to the cottages and if they were still standing.

Hi to the residents of Beare Green. Have now visited your beautiful village and went to see the Depot Cottages where my father used to live as a child. Long way down from Northumberland but worth the trip. Always thought my father was born in Beare Green but found out on my trip that he was actually born in a small village called Gomshall but lived in Beare Green until 1937 when he left home to join the Royal Navy. Also visited many of the small villages nearby to see all the places he used to talk about. Looking forward to my next trip.

Hi Dave,

It’s a good question but I think the answer is NO – there is no Beare Green football team. Of course there are neighbouring football clubs like Dorking and Horsham. That said Capel may have a team, but I may be wrong.

I will scout around and post a response when I can.

Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi – is there a Beare Green Football team? There’s obviously the pitch opposite The Weald but I can’t see anywhere whether there’s a local team.
Thanks
