Post to the north Selsdon Wood

Farleigh
Isolated hamlet partly scattered about a large green and enclosed by woodland. Here in the middle ages wood was grown as standards – mature oak and beeches grown above the coppice. This is a traditional Surrey practice to meet the demand for firewood from London and also provide timber for shipbuilding etc. It was an estate of Merton College, Oxford.
