Tilford

Tilford is a village and civil parish centred at the point where the two branches of the River Wey merge in Surrey, England, 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east of Farnham.

During the second world war, Cdr D J L 'Tim' Foster (RN Rtd), who later lived in the village, brought back from northern Russia a reindeer (named Minsk) in his submarine HMS Tigris.

[4] The land reaches 163m OD on the boundary with Seale, with a marked 180° south-facing panorama on OS maps and other guides, taking in much of Alice Holt Forest and the Greensand Ridge.

This has contributed to the inclusion wholesale of Tilford into the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty[5] The centre of the parish on the River Wey is at 49-50m OD.

[6] All Saints Church of England Infant School[12] occupies an attractive site overlooking the green.

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%.

Since his day the signs of decay have set in; the oak is still superb, but a Jubilee sapling has been planted as a neighbour.
