We were delighted to find this wonderful shop when we were looking for a special teddy bear for our first grandchild . Friendly, helpful service and a large choice of bears and other soft toys . I will definately be back !

Ben Darnton runs Ben's Collectors Records. He's a fun, forever-young, knowledgeable and very helpful guy. His shop has been independently owned for many years now, and despite the internet age, he has prevailed with a bricks and mortar store. His stock is forever changing with a massive array of material. Every now and then, people will park outside to sell their collections - particularly at weekends. If you're very lucky, as I have been in the past, some real rare gems arrive. They don't often last long! Ben doesn't charge the silly values that are attached to a lot of valuable vinyl. This makes you feel that you have found and bought a bargain. Over the years, I have found some true rarities in Ben's shop, including a UK original Funkadelic 'Maggot Brain', many old 1950's Jazz guitar records, a multitude of 1960's rock and blues classics including a copy of Led Zep 1 with turquoise lettering, The Sound of '65 by Graham Bond Organisation - plus many, many more - all in fab EX to NM condition too! Ben has been kind enough to reserve me a few 'must-have' records over the years too. The real magic though, is the ability to sift through racks and racks of vinyl, then suddenly stumble upon something you've long been looking for. As you pull out LP after LP, your head is totting up the total, and you're left feeling that you need to keep on going and find more. The prices are certainly not what you would pay on eBay or Discogs. :-) Every time I visit Guildford I try to allow at least an hour to browse Ben's shop and have a catch-up. In short, BCR's is a vinyl collectors dream. Thoroughly recommended!

Amazing that these Benedictine monks at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth receive scores of prayer requests from all over the world via their website and that this tiny, unknown and beautiful part of the Surrey countryside is such a prayerful place.

Landscape, art and remembrance are beautifully blended together in this Grade I-listed building. Visitors are drawn to the bright red brick of this Arts & Crafts masterpiece. Up-close, the extraordinary design and decoration both fascinate and overwhelm all who venture up the winding yew tree paths.
Absolutely worth a visit - the terracotta is beautiful and the carvings and art inside are stunning and totally unexpected!

In attractive parkland, this is a fascinating church with features from Saxon and Norman times as well as later memorials and brasses. The Drummond Chapel differs from the rest of the church as it contains elaborate designs by Augustus Pugin, reminiscent of those in the Houses of Parliament.

The interior is white-washed so fairly bright. We spoke with one of the volunteers about cathedrals we had all visited for a while. Has recently had its tower refurbished. Behind the church is an interesting graveyard with footpaths down three sides with The Royal Oak backing on to the graveyard. Very nice to spend some time away from the hubbub of the High Street then go for a beer!

You can picture this building and it’s occupants many centuries ago. Build almost 500 years ago. Well worth a look!
