The Stywards
My Stuart family is buried at this church. I would like to see more pictures of this church inside such as the stained glass and crypt. I have a great interest in this family 1550 1625. Various spellings for my family name are Stiward, Styward, Stewart, Steward, and Stuart.
Best Wishes, Richard. wrstewart@embarqmail.com

Very Fond Memories of LMTOH Ward 5
I was in St Giles Hospital, Camberwell, and was transferred to Lord Mayor Treloars Orphopaedic Hospital, Alton because the surgeon was a good friend of the main Consultant Surgeon at Alton who was, I think Mr Catterell. Apparently my problem was very difficult to diagnose, and it was only when I was operated on that the full extent of damage was evident. I had a badly diseased spine, where two of the vertebrae were being eaten away by Osteomyelitis. The recovery period was extremely painful, and I remember having a full body cast made, which was cut into top and bottom halves.
During my stay in 1959 the summer was very hot and sunny, and we were pushed out onto ...read more here

Good times & bad
I was in the hospital for two & a half years. I was in a plaster case with straps all the way from top to bottom. I was on my back through the night & in the mornings the nurses would turn me so I could see the other children. I made lots of friends while I was there & all the nursing staff & doctors were great. The best time was weekends when my mum, dad & my brother came to see me. It was a long way for them to come because they lived in Fovant near Salisbury, Wiltshire. They came on a Saturday & stayed in bed & breakfast then came & spent the whole of Sunday with ...read more here

Extracts From East Worldham & Hampshire books
A little church with a large
tower, it is dedicated to
St Cadoc, but it is said to
have been founded by
St David. The 15th-century
tower has four pinnacles and
large gargoyles leaning out
over its panelled buttresses.
The Somerset chapel on the
left is the last resting place
of several of the Earls of
Worcester, masters of
Raglan Castle.
An extract from from"Around Alton Photographic Memories".
The lad may be returning from the castle, which could be approached on this road at that time. The four houses on the right,
built in 1817, are now private residences. Two of them still have large windows by their doors to remind us that they used to
be the corner stores and Jones’s Refreshment Rooms. Most of the trees remain, but they have been severely cut back.
An extract from from"Around Alton Photographic Memories".
There is documentary evi-
dence that the Ship Inn on
the left dates from at least
1600, and its cobbled court-
yard remains today thanks
to a preservation order.
Opposite it, Davies & Jones’s
store seems to be a meeting-
point for the local boys and
their bicycles. As the High
Street disappears in the dis-
tance it becomes the
Monmouth Road.
An extract from from"Around Alton Photographic Memories".
The road is Station Road, which today
leads to the golf course. The church tower
continues to dominate this scene, but the
village has grown a lot in the last century,
with new schools, new housing and a new surgery.
An extract from from"Around Alton Photographic Memories".
The machicolated heights of William Herbert’s gatehouse and closet towers look down on
the moat which surrounds the famous Yellow Tower, the work of his father William ap
Thomas. King Henry VII spent some of his childhood at Raglan, where the two Williams
had transformed a fortified rural manor into a castle fit for a future king.
