Haslemere
Our journey starts at St Stephen's Church Shottermill. The church was built in 1841, originally consisting only of the present nave, and began life as St. Stephen’s Chapel within the Parish of Frensham. A tower was incorporated in the planning; and nave and tower were completed in 1846, being consecrated on 24th March by the Rt. Rev. C. R. Sumner, Bishop of Winchester. Alfred, Lord Tennyson of Aldworth and Farringford, (Aldworth was the name of the house he built in Haslemere, on Blackdown, where the poet lived until his death in 1892) was associated with the financial support of the project; but the person primarily concerned with the development was James Simmonds (1784-1868), Master Paper-Maker, who owned Sickle Mill and lived at Cherrimans.
We proceed up the hill to Junction Place, on the left is Shottermill Social Club, where activities include, snooker, darts & pool. On the right is Dylan's Ice cream shop, where amazing ice creams and hot drinks are served. Next door is Haslemere Methodist Church. First opened in 1972, the church was further modernised in 1999. It serves the area of Haslemere, Hindhead, Beacon Hill and Fernhurst. In addition to the Sunday services, the church is the centre for many community activities during the week.
Further up the road towards Haslemere town, on the left is the very popular Lion's Den, who serve good food, a favourite is their burgers. Continue op the hill and you will find "Cook" selling ready meals. We recommend the beef bourguignon. Before you reach the High Street their are som interesting old cottages eithe side of the road.
Haslemere is a quaint and charming market town, steeped in history and the perfect place to shop, dine or stay a while and explore the beautiful surrounding countryside. Your first stop when visiting Haslemere must be Visit Haslemere, the local Information Centre situated in the fascinating Haslemere Museum at the end of the High Street on the right before you leave the town towards Grayswood
