Ray: Thank you for your reply to my previous posting. Per the excerpts below, I have found references to another place in Horley in addition to the one that you provided, also named Tanyard Farm but with a different Ordnance Survey Reference Codes! >From Google Maps: Tanyard Farm House Langshott Horley, Surrey RH6, UK <http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=tanyard+farm,+horley,+surre y&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=59.856937,112.675781&ie=UTF8&ll=51.179477,-0.1 44367&spn=0.011757,0.027509&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=0> The Google hit seems to correspond with the following record, based on the common reference to Langshott Road. >From http://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/Images/L_tcm5-10490.pdf: Description: TANYARD FARMHOUSE & TANYARD FARM COTTAGE (17C.)

But here is another Tanyard Farm with a different Ordnance Survey Reference Number... >From http://www.dbrg.org.uk/horley.html: Tanyard Farm c1500 TQ293441 A complex high quality house, evidence of medieval Where is this Tanyard Farm located? If there truly are two places in Horley named Tanyard Farm, which one is the once cited below? >From Thomas Rowland Hooper published A Surrey and Sussex Border Church; Reminiscences of Old-Time Baptist Assemblies at Turners Hill, Horley, and District 1650 to 1840 (Thomas Rowland Hooper, [Stanley L. Hunt, The Printeries, Rushden, Northants], 1925: "The places of the executive and Quarterly Meetings were for many years chiefly at Turner's Hill (from 1727 to 1759 at Griffle English's house). After about 1752 they were occasionally held at Bro. Dodd's, Hollylands, Horley; at the *TANYARD*, and at Thomas Streater's, at Enhams, also once or twice at "Colinden." After 1766 Richard Holiday's House, Cogman's Burstow, alternately with Mee (Meath) Green was used till in 1771 some "Scandlus Reports" connected with the former led to the meeting of Dec. 4, 1771, being transferred to Shepherds, Outwood. After more than a century the Church was provided with a Meeting House, erected in Horley Row... It was occupied from 1760 to 1791... After 1791 it became a dwelling house... An annex with an oven was erected and for over hundred years a baker's business was carried on and the place known as "The Old Bakehouse." In 1920 it was sold and renovated and is now a private residence. Of those at Horley the *TANYARD* was long since closed and the house rebuilt. Collinden, a farmhouse near Horse Hill, and Enham, perhaps "Inholm" near Harrowsley, have remains. Hollylands seems uncertain; its reputed site is near Horley lands on the Balcomb Road, where is yet an ancient house.” The phrases, "The house rebuilt," and "much altered" would seem to indicate a match on TQ 24SE 5/21 but it would be great to have something more definitive.

It is circa 1500 with modifications in 1600 and 19th. century. This could be the place they are referring to but I don't know why they say 'THE' Tanyard. Regards, Ray.
