Merry Harriers

Oakhurst Cottage

The parish church is Hambledon Church. Its traditional dedication is to St Peter. Built on top of a hill on Church Lane, its churchyard contains two gigantic yew trees – one with a 30-foot (9.1 m) circumference and hollow, with space for four people inside. The trees outdate the present church by many centuries. Each Sunday there are two services^[5] the earlier with a traditional theme and the later being contemporary. Today’s building was constructed in the 19th century, although it does contain traces of its 14th century predecessor.^{[citation needed]}Hambledon Church now forms a joint benefice with Busbridge Church.

Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not  work) :

*************

Hambledon is a rural scattered village in the Waverley borough of Surrey, south of Guildford. It is dominated by a buffer zone of fields and woodland, mostly south of the Greensand Ridgeescarpment between Witley and Chiddingfold, having no dual carriageways or railways, however it is bordered to the west by the Portsmouth Direct Line and some of its small population are London commuters or retirees. Its main amenities are a church and village pub.

Hambledon appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Hameledune held overall by Rannulf from Edward de Sarisber (Salisbury). Its domesday assets were: 3 hides of land; 7 ploughlands, 1 mill worth 2s 6d, 3 acres (0.012 km²) of meadow, woodland worth 30 hogs. It rendered £5 per year to its feudal overlords.^[2]

In the 16th century, part of its land was mined for iron ore. This became replaced by the 18th and 19th centuries by brickmaking.^[3]

There is said to be buried treasure at Tolt Hill, near Hambledon, but no one has searched for it because it belongs to the Devil.^[4]
