The landscape around Barn With Sheds About 50 Metres West Of Court Lodge — Brook and the Spring-Line Villages
South of the North Downs escarpment, the land around Brook and the adjacent parishes is a quiet band of spring-line settlement where chalk meets gault clay. The villages grew where water came to the surface, and each church in this belt — many Grade I listed and of Norman or earlier origin — occupies one of those spring-heads. Between them the land is a patchwork of sheep pasture, small fields of winter cereals, and hedgerow-enclosed paddocks of yew, hawthorn and blackthorn. The combination of intact medieval churches, surviving ancient hedgerows, and the dramatic backdrop of the downs above is a landscape character that has scarcely changed in 400 years.
