Peper Harow House
Peper Harow House was built by Sir William Chambers in 1765.
Sir Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscaped the park in 1762-3, and many fine trees remain from this time. Particularly notable are the Lebanon Cedar. The house was owned by the Midleton family until 1944 when it was sold to property developers. It, and the entire village, is now owned by a trust. There is also an ancient bridge called Somerset Bridge which crosses the River Wey and connects Peper Harow with nearby Elstead.
