Hampshire memories
Farringdon Beat
I was the village beat bobby from 1983 until 1994, I lived in the police house in lower Farringdon, I covered the villages of Chawton, Newton Valence and east Tisted.I was PC 1609 Clive Cutts, but later changed my surname back to Renowden. I made some good friends in the village, and I miss my late friend Joe Lonsdale. I am now retired from the Hampshire Police and live back in my native Cornwall. anyone in the village who knew me. please contact me at Clivejac@fsmail.net
Family Bible
I have recently been given for safe-keeping a family Bible listing dates of family births, deeaths and marriages and christenings, all within the village of Farringdon and the church of All Saints. The earliest record was dated 1757. My great-great-grandmother was Mary Knight who married William Newell from Arylsford, their daughter Ellen Sophia was my great-grandmother and she married George Radfod from the village of Bentley in Hampshire. They all lived in Farringdon during periods of their lives. The surname Christmas is mentioned a lot as godmother or godfather and while visiting the churchyard I found a gravestone with this name on it.
Selborne
We lived on the outskirts of selborne, my parents and three brothers and sister, at Lower Noar Hill Farm and Homestead Farm. My great-grandparents, grandparents and parents farmed the land between Selborne Common and Noar Hill for more than 70 years. Before us it was the Ganders, who later emigrated to Canada for health reasons. My other grandparents lived in Goslings Croft in the village.
My father was secretary of the Selborne Cricket Club for more than 20 years and actively involved in the youth club and parish council. My grandparents delivered milk by horse and cart to the villagers in the 40s and 50s. In our time there was the greengrocers owned by Grace and Roy Hayward, and of course Bubbles in the middle of the village. Mr Gallop was the butcher and in the early days there was I believe also a 'supermarket' in what became in my days the antique shop near the Plestor. I opened my first... Read more
Maxwells of Selborne
The brother of my 5xgt grandfather William Maxwell, was Thomas Maxwell, born in Harting in 1754. Thomas and Elizabeth's son Henry Maxwell, born 1807 in Harting, was by the census of 1841 living in Selborne with his wife Jane and two sons, Henry Thomas Maxwell and George Alfred Maxwell and daughter Emma Jane. Henry was listed as a Grocer and Draper and this business continued into the 1900s, run by his son Henry. Henry Thomas marries Jane Maria Waterman in 1861 and they have three children, George, William and Kate. His sister Emma Jane marries John Waterman in 1868, perhaps a brother of Jane Maria... The last Maxwell in the village, I think, was Henry George Selborne Maxwell, son of George, who lived to a ripe old age of 97! In the introduction to Gilbert White's book 'The Natural History & Antiquities Of Selborne & A Garden Kalendar', the editor Richard Bowdler Sharpe writes - "Mr Henry Maxwell of Selborne, who has helped me so much in the elucidation of the history...

Great Dane
I remember the Great Dane in the picture. My Grandma had a Yorkshire/Manchester Terrier cross, and the two animals looked so incongruous when they met. My aunt Doris Greenslade lived in a tiny cottage owned by Walter Little Senior situated 100 yards to the left of the post office in the picture.
This Was my School!
I went to school here from about 1971 when I had just turned 6 until the age of 11 when I was sent off to the Amery Hill Secondary, in nearby Alton.
The school house and St. Andrews Church played a huge part in my life back then as I was also in the Church Choir, Brownies & later the Girl Guides lead by Miss Jennifer Lines - who I adored. I was one of two girls to get sick with Scarlet Fever at this school and there was a big hush up so as not to panic the "simpleton villagers" as the Doctor put it. Charming! I then got Coxsackie Virus and I was off school for a long time that year and it was touch & go for a while. Prayers were said in Church and obviously they must have worked! :)
I hated my school days as the bullying was terrible - all the way through unfortunately, mainly by the same group of girls... Read more
1963
