St Catherine’s Hill & Chapel, Guildford Surrey | 4K Drone Film | River Wey Aerial | Surrey 12 Film 09

St Catherine's Hill is a hill south of Guildford in Surrey, England, with a ruined chapel on its top.

The hill is about half a mile south of Guildford on the way to Godalming, near the village of Artington and the River Wey. The village is on a sandstone outcrop near the Pilgrims' Way, at the crossing on the river.

The name is derived from the chantry chapel, a ruined ancient monument on top of the hill.

This was probably a chapel of ease associated with St Nicholas Church in Guildford and was built in the early 14th century by the rector, Richard de Wauncey. A five-day fair has been held here historically, licensed by King Edward II in 1308.

The hill and chapel were depicted by the artist J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), with engravings including some in the Tate Gallery. The watercolourist Percy Robertson (1868–1934) painted the view from the hill in 1891
