Outwood is a village and civil parish in the Tandridge district of the Surrey weald.
Outwood is separated from Redhill by the M23 which forms the western boundary of the parish.
The earliest known reference to Outwood is in 1542; the Court Roll refers to the restrictions concerning the felling of timber in Outwood, mostly in the parish of Burstow. [2] The Victoria County History records Abbot's Hospital, Guildford, still owned land in Outwood in 1911. [2]
The Baptist Chapel, no longer in use, was built in 1834. In 1869, St John the Baptist Church was built in what was the north of Burstow parish. This was followed in 1870 by the creation of the ecclesiastical parish of St John the Baptist, taking in parts of Bletchingley, Burstow, Horley, Horne, and Nutfield.
The local school was opened in 1876 and closed in 1981. [3] The building has since been converted into apartments. In 1887, Outwood Cricket Club was formed, and is still active.
Outwood Parish Council was created in 2000.
The viilage is home to Outwood Mill, a post mill built in 1665, which was once the oldest working post windmill in England. It was damaged in gales in January 2012 and in October 2013. The mill and grounds have been closed to the public ever since, with an application for withdrawal of rights of access applied for. Plans to restore the mill appear to have faltered.[ citation needed ]
In 1939, a village hall was built, called the Lloyd Hall after Theodore LLoyd who donated the land and built the hall. [4] In 2014, the old hall closed for a new hall to be built on the same site. A multi-use games area was established in 2010 when Wells Court was built and opened.
There are three pubs in the village, The Bell, The Castle and the Dog & Duck.

There are several miles of public, National Trust footpaths and bridleways as well as Outwood Common. The paths cross open common, woodland and fields, which change through the seasons: much of the countryside in and around Outwood is part of the Harewoods estate, which is owned and managed by the National Trust. There are two main car parks, one is opposite the windmill and the other is on the track leading to the cricket pitch on Outwood Common. The National Trust holds guided walks at certain times of the year. [5]

It includes three homes north of St Martha's Hill, a southern knoll of the range of hills but almost all its population is south of this, in much of the village: Chilworth which is divided between it and Shalford parish. This results in an overlapping of areas where it is wished to consider the village of Chilworth.
