Column at entrance to Nonsuch Park
This column is on London Road (A24) at one of the entrances to Nonsuch Park.
The inscription on the base of this column says
"AS THIRSTING TRAVELLERS IN A DESERT LAND
WELCOME A SPRING AMIDST A WASTE OF SAND
SO DID HER KINDLY ACTIONS CHEER SHE SAID
REFRESH THE WORN AND MAKE THE WEARY GLAD"
Ewell is on a long line of spring line settlements founded along the foot of hills on a geological line between the chalk of the North Downs to the south, and the clay of the London Basin to the north.
