By 1920 the habitation of Clay Lane towards Hurst had been extended by the building of Numbers 3 & 4 Crabtree Cottages (now called "The Dell" and "Peacehaven"), and "Cosy Cot" in the northern corner of Greencroft Nursery, and by 1925 yet another new house had been built in this area. This was first described as Tylney Road, then Tylney and finally the spelling was altered, or corrected, to "Tynley".

By 1915 Jacobs Well Farm was occupied by two families, the Greys and the Stillwells. Mr Laurie Grey, who provided much information about this period, was born there in 1915 and lived there until 1935. His father was a carter, while Mr Stillwell ran a bus service from Guildford, via Jacobs Well, to Sutton Green. The Stillwell family had previously lived in the "Old House" which was demolished between 1899 and 1915.

In 1923 Queenhythe became a private dwelling for the first time rather than a farmhouse or small holding. The new owner was John Cameron Alexander, a devout Roman Catholic who brought a rare distinction to the house by obtaining "episcopal permission, endorsed by papal brief" for a private chapel in the house where Mass was said on 86 occasions between 1925 and 1934. "The divine office was also sung, on occasion, in this beautifully furnished chapel". Perhaps it was for this reason that several successive owners were members of St Edward's Church congregation.

The first village shop.
The neighbouring Manor of Sutton had passed to Mrs Louisa Witham and then to her son Philip. Like their predecessors they resided at Whitmoor House where their coachman, Frederick Ayling, lived in the Coachhouse Cottage. During the Great War the carriage had been replaced by a motor car, the coachman had become a chauffeur and his home was renamed the Garage Cottage.

Philip Witham provided his employee with a house (now "Fourways") for his retirement close to the crossroads at Jacobs Well. To this day the large shed at the back is known as the "Coach-house". After Mr Witham's death in 1921 Fred Ayling and his wife Harriet Rhoda, born Foster, set up and ran a village store in their house. They were helped by Fred's niece Annie Moore, who later married a seafaring man, Ethelbert George Saxby.

By 1925 Rhoda Ayling had become a widow and by 1934 she, too, had died and Annie Saxby had taken over the shop. Several present residents remember Mrs Saxby with affection and with gratitude for her generous attitude towards credit in hard times. Her shop is recalled with amusement and amazement as a kind of treasure cave where almost anything was available if only one could find it in the maze of upturned biscuit tins which were used as a primitive form of unit storage.

Mrs Saxby became increasingly infirm and not long before her death in 1963 she was the victim of a couple of robberies and attacks by youths. The house, which had remained the property of Mrs Witham, was put up for auction in February 1964 after her death and sold for £4,700 to Mr & Mrs Boycott who intended to carry on the business. However competition from the new shops in Stringers Avenue proved to be too strong, so in 1970 they sold the house and moved to Sutton Green. The plot next to Fourways, now occupied by "Greenvale" and "Redwood", had been put up for auction in July 1962.

Burpham Court House. During the late 1920's Hurst Farm cottages were converted back to one house, modernised and then occupied by Mr & Mrs Phillip Rioux Benson by 1927. For some reason the restored house was renamed Burpham Court House. In 1897 a local historian had noted that "the old saying is that it was the old manor house and that the courts of the parish used to be held there" and more recently others have repeated this conjecture but we have been unable to find the evidence to support this. The word "Court" had formed part of the name of Burpham Court Farm nearby for much longer. This latter was at one time named Burgham House and reputed, perhaps more reliably, to be the old Manor house.

The White House. Around 1930 Burgham Lodge had changed hands yet again and the new owner, Major Archibald Boyle, renamed it first White Lodge, Burpham and later The White House. Not long after, and close by, the first example of speculative development occurred when some eighteen houses were built along the Woking Road and down a farm lane which had originally provided a route from the Woking Road to Watts Farm. This was known colloquially as Frog Alley, but was renamed White House Lane in 1963.
