English: Village Hall at Jacobs Well. Jacobs Well was originally a small settlement around the junction of Clay Lane and the road to Sutton Green, not far from the River Wey. Today suburban bungalows and cul-de-sacs have sprung up and it is virtually on the outskirts of Guildford. In the fields close to the village can be seen the remains of a remarkable irrigation system developed by Sir Richard Weston in the first half of the 17th century. This led to the construction of the Wey Navigation, which is now owned by the National Trust.
