Historic landscape survey by N Bannister, for the National Trust, of its Box Hill estate. The oldest boundaries on the estate are thought to be those bounding the old trackways, such as along Box Hill Road. The shaws dividing the woodland/downland from the fields are also probably medieval in origin. The present woodland reflects the change from traditional wood pasture mixed with sheep walks to amenity woodland in the 19th and 20th centuries. The oldest trees present on the estate are the large leafed limes at the bottom of the Whites, which have been coppiced. A few pollards survive despite extensive clearance in the 18th century; they are largely confined to the scarp top, along the road. Two large chalk quarries are present on the estate. The one by Warren Farm is shown on the 1838 tithe map and has a kiln associated with it, the one on the crest of Box Hill is described as an old quarry in 1838.
