Lewis Carroll spent much time in Guildford visiting his six unmarried sisters. They lived at ‘The Chestnuts’ near to the remains of Guildford Castle.
His second Alice book ‘Through the Looking Glass’ was completed whilst he was staying in Guildford in 1871.
Sadly, he became unwell on one of his visits and is buried at The Mount Cemetery.
