Annual Parish Meeting 2025 – agenda poster-2Download

Our horse trough fundraising appeal made the BBC News!

On By limpsfieldpcIn News

As you will know, Limpsfield’s historic horse trough, once a landmark at Detillens Lane and the A25, was stolen in August 2024. Despite initial strong evidence, police have not been able to further pursue leads, and it sadly remains unrecovered. The Parish Council is now working to replace it with a high-quality replica.

This week, Craig Buchan and Paul Brennan of BBC Surrey/South East got behind our endeavours and ran a piece on BBC News South East and recorded an interview for the BBC Surrey breakfast show with James Cannon.

You can read the online article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3q0y0zx72o

Originally donated in 1913 by Alice and Horace Barry, the trough bore inscriptions from the Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association and had been part of daily life for well over a century.

Although insured, it is an incredibly specialist item and difficult to value and while our insurers are happy to pay out on the trough, the amount may not fully cover a quality replacement plus secure installation. The Council will be contributing, we have also had a generous offer of a donation from the Drinking Fountain Association, and we have launched an appeal for public donations to ensure we get the best replacement we can.

Happy New Year!

The gritters have been out and snow is forecast for this weekend and also during the coming week, so please be very careful when out and about.

As we are entering the coldest and most wintry months, please see our website’s Snow & Ice page for locations of grit boxes around the parish, gritting routes and advice on snow and ice clearance, as well as the government’s “Snow Code”.


Our volunteer councillors will endeavour to make sure the pavements in the village are gritted, as well as access to Limpsfield CofE Infants School and to Glebe Meadow.

Take care. ❄️
