Summary
A post-medieval chalk pit was formerly located at Sarre Court. The pit is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map of c.1861, however on the 2nd edition map the site is depicted as 'Old Chalk pit'. This appears to indicate that it fell out of use at some point between c.1861 to c.1895 when these maps were released.
