More about this scene

These 'Old Houses' are in The Bury. The black door on the left of the early 16th-century Cottage in The Bury has 'John Hellis Builder' inscribed on it. He was employed during a restoration of the church in 1851, continuing a family business dating from the mid 17th century. Opposite, on the corner of King Street, Mrs Burrows was continuing a long-established blacksmith's business at the 16th-century forge. On the other side of King Street the sign advertises that P Cutmore, 'Fly and Omnibus Proprietor', operated from here. His horse-drawn vehicles provided a service to and from Winchfield Station, and he also delivered parcels.

My Great, Great grandparents, John and Jane Crocker lived here in 1915 before they both died.
