The lost chantry college of Lingfield
+DENNIS TURNER and NIGEL SAUL
John Aubrey in his posthumously published Natural History and Antiquities of the County of Surrey offered a brief description of the now-lost 15th century buildings of Lingfield College, noting in particular that the upper storey of the cloister block was 'of Brick and Timber'. It is suggested here that the use of brick at Lingfield was probably the earliest such in the Weald of Surrey in a high-status building, and that a source for the design may have been the cloister court provided by the de la Poles for their almshouse foundation at Ewelme in Oxfordshire.
