Brook is a hamlet in the civil parish of Witley in the Waverley district in south-west Surrey. It is in the far west of Wormley, beyond Sandhills with which it avoids being contiguous due to a narrow, partly woodland buffer. Brook straddles the A286 single carriageway road between Milford and Haslemere.


On slightly lower slopes of the Greensand Ridge than to the south, Brook is almost wholly within the Surrey Hills area of outstanding natural beauty.



Amenities


Pirrie Hall, a community hall, which dates from May 1923. It was built and given to the community by Lord Pirrie K.P. "for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the hamlets of Brook, Sandhills and adjoining district". The maintenance of the hall is financed in part by a community association organised annual May Bank Holiday Fete.[1]


The hamlet's pub is the 'Dog and Pheasant'.



Cricket club


Brook Cricket Club's ground adjoins Pirrie Hall. After leaving the Surrey Championship Cricket league in 2012, the club re-structured over the winter of 2012-13 and re-entered league cricket in the I'Anson Cricket league and formed a youth section. In their first year of playing together the Under 9's team won their local league age group.[citation needed] By 2018 the club's first eleven were in I'Anson Division 1 but were promptly relegated for 2019.[2]


Brook was the origin of the Woodworm cricket bat used by Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen in the 2005 Ashes winning series.[3] The club is among multiple claimants to have hosted the first person to bowl overarm.[4]



Notable people


Brook was the home to Asif Zardari, and his wife the former Pakistan Premier Benazir Bhutto, who bought the Rockwood Estate in 1995.[5]
