   Catweazle
Sadly, as the owners are no longer hosting the Village Fete at Home Farm, Catweazel fans will no longer be able to attend the annual gathering that happened there over many years. For privacy reasons, fans are asked not to seek to view it at other times.
"After much scouting, a beautiful Surrey village called East Clandon was discovered and was perfect for the backdrop, surrounded as it was (and still is) by pastoral fields, leafy woods and classic English architecture....the water tower which became Catweazle's residence during the series was erected a few hundred metres down the road from the farm....Other filming locations such as the town and shops known in the series as "Westbourne" were shot over at the nearby village of East Horsley...otherwise the majority of the action was shot around the East Clandon base"

The 1970s children's TV series Catweazle was filmed in and around East Clandon and particularly in the barn at Home Farm. There is still an ardent following of Catweazle fans and they have strong bonds with the village.
A quote from the guide that accompanies the CD:
The top right picture is of Catweazle looking suitably perplexed at the new "magic" of the 20th century. Above left is the cast sitting on a tractor, that was taken in the entrance to Home Farm (called Hexwood in the series). Right are Catweazle and Carrot in the barn at Home Farm.
