, Surrey As shown, Ewhurst is a narrow parish. The northeast of the area includes the large
Mullard Space Science Laboratory of
UCL formerly Holmbury House laboratory and several sloped
copses. Woodland forms a considerable minority of land use also on the
wealden clay across the parish such as Upper Canfold Wood (north of Cranleigh Road) and Buildings and Somersbury Woods (north and south of Horsham Road). There are several
country houses with historically dominant estates, upon which much agriculture and gardening continues; the largest is
Baynards Park, which formerly had a
Grade II listed country house. The Church of St Peter and St Paul built in the 12th century – largely rebuilt 1838–39 due to a collapse – apart from the nave, is a Grade I
listed building. Outlying the village, on Pitch Hill, is
Marylands a Grade II* listed home by
Oliver Hill, constructed in 1929–31 of
sandstone with a green Swedish
pantiled roof. It was built for M C Warner in a blend of
Spanish architecture and
Lutyens. It has been used as a film location, including for episodes of
Poirot mysteries. There are a few listed buildings closer to the church including one at Grade II*, White Hart Cottage. The East window behind the altar in the church was commissioned from
Archibald Keightley Nicholson as a memorial window for Captain William Ralph Frecheville who was executed after capture 9 January 1920 aged 24, in
Rostov-on-Don, Russia, whilst serving as part of the
Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. There are several businesses in the main village, a village hall for community events and
public houses including The Bull's Head by the village green, and at Ellen's Green and Ewhurst Green which is a continuation of the village just south of the main village. ==Schools==
