===Wisley Church=== Wisley parish church was built by the [[Normans]] in the mid 12th century and the church has no later additions. Even the dedication of the church is lost.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lewin |first=Sylvia |title=Wisley Church: Short History and Church Guide |last2=Blatch |first2=Mervyn |others=Revised by David Hill with substantial input from Tony Paice |year=2006 |edition=2nd |location=Wisley Church |orig-date=1987}}</ref><ref name=m/> Three [[consecration cross]]es still remain. There are remains of medieval frescos on the south wall of the nave and behind the pulpit. The [[chancel]] arch, of chalkstone, and both the north and south chancel windows are original. The roof with a [[queen post]], and [[Bell-cot|bellcote]], with one bell, are later. A porch was added in the [[Stuart period|Stuart]] period. The [[Victorian restoration|Victorian]] restoration of 1872 reconstructed the western half in a neo-Norman style, including the two west windows, and added the vestry. Originally there was a Norman font, but that was replaced by the present Victorian one; the pulpit is also Victorian. On the south wall is the Royal Arms of [[George III]]. The East window and north and south windows of the nave are late [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] style from 1627. The stained-glass is by [[James Powell and Sons|Powell and Sons]], given in 1909 in memory of Mr and Mrs Buxton; [[Charles Buxton]] was a local M.P. Beside the pulpit is a scrolled iron [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] hour-glass holder. One pew is dated 1630, but the remainder are Victorian, and the panel behind the organ is from 1915. <gallery heights="200px" mode="packed"> File:Wisley Church, Wisley Lane, Wisley (June 2015) (1).JPG File:Wisley Church, East window by Powell & Sons (1909).jpg File:Wisley Church, view of the nave.jpg </gallery>
