Dunsfold

Dunsfold is a village in the Waverley district of the county of Surrey, England, fourteen kilometers south of Guildford.

The village's name is derived from the Old English 'Dun' (hill) and 'Fold' (enclosure). At the time, its well was a site of pilgrimage.

Dunsfold Church is a Norman building, containing the oldest pews in England.

The village was a site iron working in the Middle Ages. Later, Dunsfold benefited from the construction of the Wey and Arun Canal, and Dunsfold Aerodrome, where British Aerospace used to flight test aircraft such as the Harrier Jump Jet, many of which were built at Kingston-upon-Thames. The company closed its facility in 2002.
