Moncrieff wanders the county from the Thames riverside down the Wey and up the Mole, along the Pilgrims’ Way and through the villages and commons of the Surrey hills. He mixes topography with gossip and history, such as the Irvingite cathedral at Albury and its patron Henry Drummond, accompanying Sutton Palmer’s watercolours.
