The Marlow family of publicans
My great-grandfather was Samuel Marlow and a publican at the time of his marriage in 1897. His father was William Marlow and my family tree research has led me to the White Hart in Eversley Cross where there were two succesive landlords of these names.
I can't help wondering if one of these gents posing in the Francis Frith view of the pub might be one of the Marlow landlords!

New Inn Eversley/Finchampstead Border
My great grandfather,Henry Berriss was publican of the New Inn (on the Eversley/Finchampstead border) now known as the Tally Ho. I would be very interested to hear from anyone with stories of their family ancestors who stayed at this pub in World War One and who can confirm the regiment based there or any other stories related to this pub.

My father visited a Leversuch family in Eversley
I have no personal memories of Eversley but my father Percy Norman Pearson born 1910, who died 2003, talked fondly of holidays spent in Eversley with an aunt whose surname was Leversuch when he was a child/young man. He was living in Southampton at the time.
I have just started researching my family tree so am intrigued to find out more about Eversley and whether there are any people called Leversuch who might be able to shed any light. I could not find Leversuch as one of our family names though I have just discovered that my great great grandmother's sister Grace Burtt Pain married a James Leversuch. He was born c1807 and I wondered if one of his relatives ...read more here

Extracts From Eversley & Hampshire books
This picture shows a pond
considerably bigger than
that which remains today;
beyond lies The Lamb
public house. Today with
a reduced pond and an
enlarged green, there exists
an excellent cricket pitch, all
of which remains in full view
of the much larger pub and
restaurant now named ‘Le
Toad and Stumps’.
An extract from from"Wokingham and Bracknell Photographic Memories".
The imposing red brick house of c1500 on the
right (now The Old House and Queen Anne
House) was a wealthy merchant’s jettied house
prior to its refronting and dividing in the 18th
century. Further along is Waterloo House (with
the blinds), where Miss Jenkins sold gloves and
corsets in addition to her dressmaking and
millinery business. Next door is Mr Purkess, a
baker and grocer.
An extract from from"Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories".
The former plaster on the external walls was removed by
misguided restoration work in 1889, which has exposed the
unknapped flint. This would have come from the local chalk
downs, and the stone for the windows, tracery and doorways
perhaps came from Bentley, some five miles to the south.
An extract from from"Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories".
Chamberlain Gardens occupy part of the land given to the parish
by the Misses Chamberlain, who lived at Bury House. On the left,
the Vicarage was built in 1989-90. To the right, Benford Court was
opened in 1980 and is part of the almshouse complex.
An extract from from"Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories".
Stoney Cottage, the jettied, timber-framed building on the left,
was saved from demolition and restored to one dwelling c1965.
In the distance, glimpsed on the right on the corner of King
Street, is the former forge, now a private house. Opposite, the
Oast Garage opened in the mid 1950s.
