The church of St Peter and St Paul, West Clandon


This small Surrey church may be next to a busy road but it is best to reach it by walking along a pathway of pollarded trees from the grounds of Clandon Park just as Lord Onslow's family did over many years.

         

On a sunny day the church is bathed in bright colours as the sun shines through the stained glass.

To be Paid by his Heirs and Assigns for ever. June 24, 1817.

 This 12th century church had a major restoration at the beginning of the 20th century. 



Part of an old wooden panel which may have been on a rood screen show St peter and St Paul either side of St Thomas of Canterbury
