Sherfield Post Office
My wife and I owned Sherfield-on-Loddon post office (pictured far left) from July 1991 until July 1999. In 1992 the shop front pictured was extended out into the garden about 15 feet and a complete refit undertaken. We did, however, retain the hand made sign over the shop front which was renovated and rehung on the new part of the building.
We had our daughter and son whilst we were living there and Sherfield will always hold a special place in our memories.

bramley school days
I have strong memories of the church as every day at 10 we had to walk down the church path to pick up the milk also.our playground backed onto the graveyard so when there was a funeral we had to come inside which we thought was most unfair.After school we would wonder around the grave yards which was a big no no by the vicker . I have strong memories of the church after being in Australia for some 40years the internet has brought back memories.Any body who went to the church or school i would welcome contact. Andrew Locke

Extracts From Sherfield-On-Loddon & Hampshire books
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.

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.

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.

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.

Built on the side of a hill, Greywell
Hill was purchased in 1787 by the 1st
Lord Dorchester, formerly Sir Guy
Carleton, who was the first Governor
General of Canada. He bought the
manors of Greywell and Nately
Scures from the trustees of the Earl of
Northington. A considerable number
of possible male heirs died fighting
for king/queen and country, and the
title became extinct. However, as a
result of petitioning, Queen Victoria
recreated the title in the female
heiress, but it became extinct again in
1963. Greywell Hill is now the
residence of the 7th Earl of
Malmesbury, whose mother was the
daughter of the 2nd Baron Dorchester.
