Capel is a village in Surrey just north of the border with Sussex and just to the side of the A24, which used to pass through it before the bypass was built. Like so many of these little places in Surrey, it dates back to the Domesday Book. The area around was mainly used for farming but the heavy clay soil also nurtured a thriving brickmaking industry and by the early 19th century there were several brickyards too.
As pleasant as it is, there's not a great deal to say about Wotton, which is a 'well wooded parish', according to Wikipedia, a little to the west of Westcott and the town of Dorking. It existed back in the days of the Domesday Book and is home to the stately Wotton House, a pub called the Wotton Hatch, a few houses, and St John's Church.
Nonsuch Park is a large open leisure space with an extensive network of surfaced and unsurfaced paths. It is home to a variety of different species of flowers, birds and insects. Situated in its centre is the grade II-listed Nonsuch Mansion, which was built in the mid-eighteenth century and extended at the beginning of the nineteenth in Tudor Gothic style. The park was once home to the very grand Nonsuch Palace built by Henry VIII in 1538, but this was demolished in 1682.
The Roe family at Perrotts Farm own and work the land to the south of Banstead village. The farm has grown wheat for bread making, barley for real ale, and beans exported to Egypt.
