Dist:0.2km<br/>A set of drawings by Haswell from 1825 show a large timber belfry at the west end (similar to the one at Burstowl. In 1880 the west end was reconstructed and the belfry structure considerably reduced in size. The roofs are tiled, the spire shingled and the walls constructed of a mixture of Reigate (or Merstham) stone, Wealden sandstone and Bath stone. There are three bells hung for swing chiming are rung most Sundays. The tenor dated 1718 inscribed "John Waylett made me" 2nd dated 1663 "William Eldridge Made Me" and the treble 14Century http://www.achurchnearyou.com/horne-st-mary-the-virgin/page/333/

Dist:0.2km<br/>This church does have a spire, which, however, is not visible in this image because it is obscured by the trees. Therefore I have provided a second image to show the spire.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Although Whitewood Lane is not a classified road, it carries a remarkably heavy flow of traffic, and it is unusual to see it without a car in view, even on a Sunday morning. The road forms a useful short cut from Godstone and Blindley Heath to the Horley-Gatwick-Crawley conurbation.
