Money was also spent on roads to improve access (estimated cost £500), one of these is named after Sir Henry.

It is a rare example of a single rampart earthwork used either as a stock enclosures or possibly places of refuge.

[6] The close proximity of Pinewood, Shepperton and Bray Studios and the outstanding natural beauty of the Beeches have made it a desirable filming location.
