Puttenham, Surrey Beggars Bush 1869

Recorded by C. Howkins, Trees and People in Surrey and Beyond, Addlestone, 1999, p.37; Sy Arch Coll 49, p.37.

Also T.E.C. Walker (SAC Vol.XLIX p.114) says that the Kerry MSS at Derby Public Library (Vol.III,p.108) records that this referred to a grass triangle at the top of the road from Puttenham village to the Hog’s Back, on the boundary of Puttenham & Wanborough, and that when it was grubbed up in about 1840 a human skeleton was found beneath the roots.

The location now appears to be below the access road to the A31.

Beggars Corner nearby is a distinct location.
