2025: "Alfold is a village and civil parish in Surrey, England on the West Sussex border. Alfold is a dispersed or polyfocal village in the Green Belt, which is buffered from all other settlements. The Greensand Way runs north of the village along the Greensand Ridge and two named localities exist to the north and south of the historic village centre which features pubs, a set of stocks and a whipping post.

The compact village has a red telephone kiosk, stocks and whipping post with very old paving and the following listed buildings:

• St Nicholas's Church (Grade I)[6]
