Pitchfont is the home farm of the historic Titsey estate close to the commuter town of Oxted in East Surrey.
The estates history can be traced back to 1534 when John Gresham of the city banking family bought the estate. There are records of cattle keeping here showing that there were herds of dairy cattle including Shorthorns and Guernseys. In 1965 the ‘Tyttsey’ pedigree herd of British Friesians was formed alongside these there was a small breeding herd of Aberdeen Angus.
As time progressed and land came under the plough a more arable/dairy regime transpired. With the change in farm support and falling cereal prices the farm decided to purchase some Sussex cattle with a view to marketing beef locally, the breed being suited to the area.
September 2009 saw the dispersal of the Limpsfield pedigree dairy herd and the decision to expand the Titsey Sussex herd.
The cache can be done as part of the Oxted Meridian Orbit or on its own.
Parking can be found at N51 16.348 E000 00.475
Due to the large trees here GPS reading are irratic, so I have given a very explicit hint.
