Meonstoke and its surrounding farmland
There are many people better qualified than I to write about Meonstoke, but this photo evokes memories of the Cooke's, who ran the village shop with cheerful kindness and where we shopped for essentials - and particularly for sweets which we took back to school in a biscuit tin (I have written about it here http://lawfordherry.blogspot.com/2007/11/st-ronans.html/). Opposite were (and still... [more]

These are not really memories although I do remember my father talking a lot about Meonstoke with affection.
I have 2 old postcards and 2 old photos. The photos are of the building (I understand it was a Post Office at some date) in the picture above but when it was a private house. According to family tradition it... [more]

My time at Studwell Lodge and in the village of Droxford
My family first came to live in Studwell Lodge, which they bought from the Bruce family, when my father retired from farming in Berkshire at the age of fifty five. It was then 1959 and I, as a teenager, was overawed by the sheer size and space of the property. The village was very welcoming to us newcomers. Barbara Wade was... [more]

Harriott Brothers - the Butcher's Shop
My Father was Arthur Harriott who owned Harriott Brothers Butchers Shop (which can be seen at the bottom left-hand corner of the picture) together with his Brother, Edward. We lived in "Old Sarum" which is the white house adjoining with my Mother, Molly and my Aunt Olive and Uncle Edward. One of my first memories must have... [more]

At the time of the 1881 census The Bricklayers Arms and Terrace was owned and operated by my great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Bevis, maiden name Pouncy, who was enumerated as a widow and "Licensed Victualler", or seller of spirits. My great-grandmother, Sarah Ann Hollis, maiden name Gulliver, and my grandfather, Owen Pouncy Hollis, were also living at this address.

Extracts From Corhampton & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Corhampton, inspired by Frith photos.
Petersfield - A History & Celebration
The cenotaph in the High Street commemorates those who died in battle but whose remains lie elsewhere. It is of unusual and classic appearance; it was designed by the architect Harry Inigo Triggs, who had travelled and studied in Italy. The detailing is borrowed from the eight blank panels in the Medici chapel in Florence; on these panels are carved the names of the town's dead of the First World... [more]

Petersfield - A History & Celebration
And now to the greatest mystery: who were the people who raised the tumuli or burial mounds on Petersfield Heath during the Bronze Age some 1,000 years after the Stone Age? Today, Petersfield is home to one of the most numerous collections of Bronze Age burial mounds in England. Unfortunately, the planting of conifers on the mounds in Victorian times and the mixed tree growth of the last 50 years has successfully camouflaged the outline... [more]

Petersfield - A History & Celebration
MOST OF this first chapter has to be supposition, for the facts are few and far between, but certainly two requirements were just as important in the past as they are now in the 21st century: firstly, the lie of the land was and is still critical to a successful place to camp for the night; and secondly, man's intelligence was and is needed to make the right decisions...
