The Church on the North Downs Way - Or is it The Pilgrim's Way?

Ranmore Common Road, Ranmore Common, Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6SP

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

Our Grade II* Victorian church will be open to HOD visitors.

We enjoy opening our church to visitors as it usually has to be kept closed and HOD is an excellent opportunity. Independent and guided tours are available and we always try to answer questions. The bell tower will be accessible to the reasonably fit; our tower captain may allow you to ring a bell! Refreshments will be available and the churchyard is a lovely place to sit in peace and quiet. There is parking although limited and an accessible loo.
The church is officially on the North Downs Way and we frequently welcome walkers on this long distance path. Older maps mark the route across Ranmore as the Pilgrim's Way although there is uncertainty about whether this is the historical route of the pilgrimage. We are happy to debate....
