My husband and I took his father, Ken Benwell, back to North Warnborough today, for his 90th birthday. He was born on 25th April 1919 and lived there until he was three years old. He then moved to Suffolk with his parents. He has never been back since.
He recognised Perrys Cottages straight away, as the place where his grandparents once... [more]

Hampshire memories
Julian's hunt story is almost right. I was living at the Chalk Pit at the time, and still do. It was about 1981, on a Saturday lunchtime, when the hunt came over the top, but it wasn't on Boxing Day. The hounds were chasing Hares. The leader of the hunt knew there was a main road so directed the hunt across... [more]

The chalk pit at Odiham looks much the same today as it did over 100 years ago, except that most of the buildings are no longer there. An old story I heard in the The Bell Pub, mentioned the local hunt gathering in the Bury Square on boxing day some years ago. They left in the direction of the Chalk Pit... [more]

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... [more]

Lord Wandsworth College - John Edgar Smith born 27 March 1922
I wonder if you may have known John Edgar Smith (School No. 293) in the 'thirties'?
My beloved John always spoke very fondly of his years at Lord Wandsworth College, Long Sutton, as . . . 'some of the happiest years of my life'!' Because his father had died, before he was born on 27th March 1922, John became eligible... [more]

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?

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... [more]

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... [more]

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about North Warnborough, inspired by Frith photos.
Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories
Odiham Castle, situated in a bend of the River Whitewater in North Warnborough, is the only castle in England with an octagonal keep. The construction of the Basingstoke Canal in 1794 cut through the castle's outer defences to the south.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
This is a typical Edwardian scene, with a group of villagers looking coyly at the camera. Today, with increased housing development, North Warnborough has almost joined up with Odiham. A new bypass has helped to reduce the high volume of traffic running through the village.

Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories
The plastered section of this long building was known as Webbs Cottages, and the southern range, Portsmouth Cottages. The first one of the latter was the Reading Room and Club. Newspapers, magazines and a library were available to members, and they could also play billiards, darts and whist. Opposite, George Millam was using the osiers growing on the Green behind his cottage (built of chalk) in his trade as a basket maker. John... [more]
