Surrey memories
My father must have arrived in Church Crookham around 1942. About a half dozen Canadian officers were quartered in an extremely 'modern' house, called The White House. My father, a young Captain, always spoke of that house with something approaching awe. For some reason, the sanitary fixtures fascinated him: wash basins in individual bedrooms, something unknown in North America. His bath... [more]

The house on the right hand side of this picture was called Claremont. We lived
there in the early 60s. There were two cottages to the side. In one of those cottages lived a girl called Elizabeth Holland, she used to babysit us. They had the most wonderful vegetable garden. We had fires in all the rooms, but also had paraffin... [more]

I met my husband at the Bull Inn, Bentley and we lived and worked there together for 2 years before we moved up to Newcastle to raise our 2 wonderful daughters. I am just wondering if Mary and Peter are still running the old place?

I wonder if you may have known John Edgar Smith (School No. 293) in the 'thirties'?

Hampshire Churches Photographic Memories
The curtain of trees to the right of the church is almost as high as the tower. The church is large, and includes three Norman doorways and a sweeping horseshoe arch. The pinnacled 17th-century tower was modelled on the tower of Battersea church in London. Crondall's church accounts mention the fourpences paid for ferrying masons across the Thames in order to study the model.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
One of the county's most attractive villages, Crondall has an assortment of picturesque cottages. It has an interesting history too. Queen Victoria is said to have visited the place on several occasions to enjoy the view to the west. It is claimed she journeyed here from nearby Aldershot after inspecting the troops.
