Westcott is a village in central Surrey, England, about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) west of the centre of Dorking.
It is in the Mole Valley district and the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The stream then flows past the village centre near its northern farmland, running through Dorking and joining the River Mole at Pixham.
[3] The A25 road runs through the centre of Westcott and links the village to Guildford, to the west, and Dorking, to the east.
Flint flakes and implements from this period, the Neolithic and Bronze Age have been found to the north of the village.
An excavation in the same area revealed evidence of an Iron Age enclosure, which also included some items of Roman origin.
In 1812, his son and heir, about to be created Earl of Verulam, sold the property to a wealthy Scot, Robert Barclay, and it descended to his Barclay heir in the Edwardian period, when The Nower was "a favourite place to walk for Dorking people".
[10] The Church of the Holy Trinity is Grade II listed because it was designed in 1851, by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and is made of knapped flint with ashlar quoins/dressings.
[11] Charles Barclay of Bury Hill gave equivalent to £138,301 in 2023 for it to be built, and Lady Mary Leslie the same, as an endowment.
It contributed significantly to the wealth and trade of the town, principally from wool and meat from sheep farming on the North Downs within the parish bounds.
