�CE                  INTRODUCTION


	This project investigates land use in Chipstead parish.
It's aims are to find out why certain areas of land are used for
certain purposes, and why they should differ from each other. My
hypothesis is that certain physical and geographical factors (e.g.
slope angle and soil type) cause land in Chipstead to be used for
different things. The mapaccompanying thisintroduction shows the
parish of Chipstead and the area that my project covers.
	
	I decided to base my report in Chipstead because I have
livedthereforalong time and I am  interested in finding out the
reasons for the various land uses. Before writing up this project I
carried out various aspects of fieldwork in order to gather data
for the final presentation. These included taking photographs of
various areas of land use, talking to local people and farmers and
gatheringdata by walkingaroundChipstead.

	To present thisinfomation I plan to usea variety of
different graphical means including maps to see easily different
land types and uses, bar and pie charts to show the data clearer
than just figures, cross-sections to see the aspect of slopes and
graphs to highlight any correlations.



�CE                  BRIEF HISTORY OF CHIPSTEAD


	Chipstead is a parish situated on the North Downs. It
mostly occupies a spur of high ground over 500 feet above sea level
and was first recorded in the 7th and 8th centuries. The parish is
situated very near to Banstead and Coulsdon and not too far from
Croydon.

	The name Chipstead probably derives from 'ceapstede', a
place where a market existed. Chipstead certainly possessed a fair
in Tudor times, and may have been the market for a group of
downland parishes. St Magarets is the parish church and is sited on
the east boundry. The church building is cruciform and dates from
the late 12th century.

	Chipstead itself covers around 6 square miles and contains
a mixture of houses, small shops and farms. The main rock type is
chalk and the parish possesses several natural ponds, a number of
greens or commons and a small railway on the Tattenham Corner line
which opened at the turn of the century.
