Hascombe Village, Surrey
Hascombe Village, Surrey |
|
The quiet Hascombe village in Surrey was portrayed as Jade's home village of `Mulberry Wood' in `Living Stones'. Among the aspects of the village to feature were the village pond and the local church which replaced the earlier (most likely Norman) church in the 19th Century.

Hascombe, on the Surrey Greensand and just 10 miles from Leith Hill, has been in continuous occupation since before the Norman invasion, and nearby Hascombe Hill is the site of an Iron Age hillfort. The village had a population of 274 people in the 2001 census, and lies in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. See streetmap.co.uk for a map of this location.

This tranquil area has changed little since the series was filmed. The village pond is of a moderate size, and is well maintained. It is adjacent to the church and also the cottages used for filming. All three sit on a quiet back street, lying off the main road through the village.
