Newdigate - Occupations over the Ages
Heritage Open Day: Newdigate is a rural parish situated in the Weald of Surrey. It was always very remote and as a result the villagers had to be self sufficient. We will be examining how people survived from the medieval period right up to current times. Newdigate, situated midway between Dorking, Reigate and Horsham has always been remote. Lying on thick clay the tracks during winter were quagmires and impassable and during the summer were deeply rutted. A visit to Dorking was a major undertaking right up to the mid- nineteenth century.
We will be setting up an exhibition in Newdigate Village Hall examining how villagers survived. We will be looking at farming, milling and showing the importance of timber.
