Description: | On Long Cross Hill, across the road from the field, we can see Ivy Bank (redeveloped 2003) and the side of the Post Office. The Congregational Chapel to its right is partly hidden by a tree, and the Manse to its right (with the white gate) borders onto the Brae' footpath to Arford Road. This name was given to the footpath by the American author Brett Harte when he stayed at Arford House.
The cows almost certainly belonged to the Gamblen family, who ran a milk round from Long Cross Farm at this time.
In 1987 the parishioners of Headley staged a successful march through London to deliver a petition to the Archbishop of Canterbury against plans by the Diocese of Guildford to sell the 10-acre Rectory Field site for housing development.
