Hampshire memories
Living in
When I moved to live on the Cricket Green with my parents in 1947, the previous tenants were called Bacon, and for many years afterwards, people would say "Oh you live in Bacons' old house" - my mother would seethe! My brother Richard was born in 1948 and our younger brother Patrick arrived in 1950, always doing his own thing, and was delivered by my mother on the kitchen floor - the baby born in a bucket, as he was reminded for many years. When I married in 1965 at St Thomas More RC Church in Mildmay Terrace, we borrowed a piano from the Stewart family at Longfield Cottage - ours was the second wedding held at the church. Many happy memories of childhood and beyond of Hartley Wintney - my children spent many holidays with their grandparents, playing on the green, feeding the ducks on Causeway Pond and blackberrying on Hazeley Heath with their Grandma Vaughan. I learned to score for cricket matches, something I thoroughly enjoyed until marrying... Read more
Born in The Village
I was born in the village in a nursing home, that was in January 1949, just up from the old police station on the opposite side of the A30. Then I grew up in 13 Mildmay Terrace with my mother, father, grandmother and grandfather, their name was Alfred and Hilda Denton. When I was about 4 we moved to 7 Weir Road and Dad kept chickens at the top of the garden. I have a lot of happy memories from that time. My brothers and sisters were born at 7 Weir Road.
Hartley Wintney.
I have very happy memories of staying with my grand-parents in Hartley Wintney right next to the common aged 5yr-7yrs. My grand-father kept chickens and we were allowed to feed them and collect the eggs. Did anyone know my grand-father? His name was William James Benwell?
Hartford Bridge Aircrash 1943
Does anyone have any memories or details of a Douglas Boston of 88 Squadron crashing after attempting a landing returning from a raid in 1943? It would have been around November I think. My father was navigator and was badly injured in the crash after the aircraft's one remaining engine gave out on final approach and it swung sharply to the left before flying on for a while, 'mushing' into the canopy of a tree and ploughing across some ground before coming to stop, hitting a wall. My Dad seems to remember a Union flag flying from the top of a big house going by just before impact. Any help locating the site would be great fully received.
Elvetham House
This not exactly a memory but I have a copy of a book called Elvetham which was a privately printed account of Queen Elizabeth's visit there in 1591 & presented to Her Majesty by the Earl of Hertford in commemoration of her visit. I wondered if anyone could tell me anything about this? My family lived at Dogmersfield for some years in the 70s & early 80s.
Thanks
Emma Jane's Birthplace
My G.Granny was EMMA JANE SUMNER, she was born at Rotherwick, Hampshire on 1st. January 1866. This lady made a great impression on me and I used to visit her at her home in Tilehurst, Berkshire as a child. Jane, as she was known, was around 6 feet tall and had a very regal appearance with her silver white hair coiled high on her head. I last visited her at 'Iona', Firs Road, Tilehurst when she was 80 years old and a few months before her death. She gave me a brooch from her dress which I had admired and this I will treasure always.
School at Tylney Hall
I attended Tylney Hall School from 1950 to 1956 and used to go into Rotherwick village every Sunday to go to church which was compulsory for everybody except if you were RC or Jewish. The church then was a lovely place to go with yew trees right round the building and also very well kept, not like the last time I visited when it looked a bit run down and neglected and apparently only used one week in three (what a shame to waste a lovely building like this). Hook was also a regular place to visit as it was the only place to go for your sweets as Rotherwick did not have a shop by then and we were not allowed in the pub, what a pity.
