Eartham Wood to the north is an area of open access woodland, mostly beech trees through which the Roman road Stane Street runs.

The route here today is followed only by bridleways and footpaths, and within Eartham Wood is part of the Monarch's Way long-distance path.

The church contains a memorial to Hayley's son Thomas by his friend sculptor John Flaxman.

The present building was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens following the purchase of the house by William Bird in 1905.

[6] Richard Nyren, the famous Hambledon cricketer and landlord of the Bat & Ball Inn was born in Eartham c.1734.
