Hampshire memories
Eversley During The Second World War
I lived in Spindle Cottage (now, I see, simply 'Spindles') with my mother from mid-1940 till the end of the Second World War, from the age of five till ten; my father, who was a codes and ciphers officer in the RAF, was captured in Crete in 1941 and spent most of his time in Stalag Luft 3, where he forged documents for various escapes, as he was a commercial artist in civilan life. We rented the cottage from the Clutterbucks, while the husband served as a naval officer. Next door lived Mr and Mrs Leversuch (I never knew their first names) and their cat Ginny, who spent quite a bit of time in Spindle Cottage. There was only cold water and I presumably bathed in a movable bath in the scullery, though I have no recollection of this. There was an outside earth closet, the contents of which were kindly emptied periodically into a pit at the bottom of the garden by Mr Leversuch. The exposed ceiling beams of the... Read more
My Father Visited A Leversuch Family in Eversley
I have no personal memories of Eversley but my father Percy Norman Pearson born 1910, who died 2003, talked fondly of holidays spent in Eversley with an aunt whose surname was Leversuch when he was a child/young man. He was living in Southampton at the time.
I have just started researching my family tree so am intrigued to find out more about Eversley and whether there are any people called Leversuch who might be able to shed any light. I could not find Leversuch as one of our family names though I have just discovered that my great great grandmother's sister Grace Burtt Pain married a James Leversuch. He was born c1807 and I wondered if one of his relatives was the aunt my father referred to.
Anyway this is a long shot but just thought I would try. Many thanks, Jan Pearson
New Inn Eversley/Finchampstead Border
My great grandfather,Henry Berriss was publican of the New Inn (on the Eversley/Finchampstead border) now known as the Tally Ho. I would be very interested to hear from anyone with stories of their family ancestors who stayed at this pub in World War One and who can confirm the regiment based there or any other stories related to this pub.
The Marlow Family of Publicans
My great-grandfather was Samuel Marlow and a publican at the time of his marriage in 1897. His father was William Marlow and my family tree research has led me to the White Hart in Eversley Cross where there were two succesive landlords of these names.
I can't help wondering if one of these gents posing in the Francis Frith view of the pub might be one of the Marlow landlords!
Eversley, 1971 - 1983
Dear Jan,
I have found this website quite by chance!
I first moved to Eversley with my family as a child (aged 6) in July 1971. My mother became the sub postmistress and we lived in the purpose build, red brick 5 bedroomed house in The Street (between the White Hart and the river bridge) It was built in 1952 by Mr and Mrs Leversuch. The post office and sorting office formed 2 floors on the ground floor.
Ethel Martin (a real character) had been the postmistress before my mother. Ethel was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Leversuch. I remember meeting the Leversuchs as a child although they were extremely old even then. Ethel and her husband Basil (both no longer with us, alas) moved to Lodge Grove in Yateley where we used to visit them.
The post office (later Riversdale House from 1981) no longer exists. My parents sold it in 1982, 18 months after it to ceased to be a... Read more
Officer Dilly And Eversley in Wartime
I remember Officer Dilly coming to Eversley School after his release from a prison camp and showing us some wonderful pencil drawings done in the canp of the guards etc, they have remained in my memory ever since. How I remember trying to get to school through all the military vehicles, some of which had Jane of the Mirror caricatures and words saying 'Paris here we come', I wonder how many made it?

My Mum And Dad
My father and mother Mary and Bill Nash met here in 1957. The bus used to stop outside the pub, my mum went in one day because a lady called Betty Harris said a nice looking man with curly hair was in there. They met and 2 years later married at Aldershot Register Office but returned later for their wedding reception, also at the dog. Recently I lost my father Bill but guess where we had his wake - also at the dog. This place holds very special memories to me as I drink there as well with my dog Molly. So this holds lots of memories for our family. This is in memory of my dad Arthur Edward Nash ie BILL 4th of July 1925 till 29th December 2009. RIP DAD. Xlove my mate Mary x
