Emery down church

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 I was evacuated to Emery Down from Portsmouth.
I was billeted with a very nice couple who lived in a cottage quite close to the church. The church was the centre of the village community with a thriving congregation and I was soon invited to join the choir, together with the other evacuees.
It is a beautiful little church situated at the edge of the forest adjacent to the village green, my abiding memories will always be the simple sanctity of the services and the pervading perfume of the honeysuckle that surrounded the churchyard.
