Suggested description: A hotel and event venue offering 111 bedrooms, 38 meeting or event suites, a leisure club and restaurant in Surrey, situated on the A25 between Guildford and Dorking. Originally the centre of the Wotton Estate and the seat of the Evelyn family, it was the birthplace in 1620 of diarist and landscape gardener John Evelyn, who built the first Italian Garden in England there. Its architectural features include distinctive terracotta decorations on brickwork, octagonal turrets and stacks, winged gryphons on the porch, and more.

10-foot-tall chicken?

Right now on w:Main Page:

Did you know ...

... that a 10-foot-tall (3 m) chicken (pictured) stands on a roundabout in Dorking, Surrey?

And the link is to w:Dorking Cockerel.

I would say this should be added as a sight. Your opinions? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:45, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: yes. Why not? it's not like there are a lot of more interesting things to see in Dorking, and I'm sure that a big cockerel would be of great interest to certain communities. Ground Zero (talk) 18:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this old comment. I added a listing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
