More about this scene

Behind the railings (left), the 18th-century Bury House was owned by an attorney, John Cole, in the early 19th century. He built the adjacent office in part of his garden (the white porch on the right). On the opposite corner are the 16th-century Bury Villas; before the modern frontage was built they were one house, and jettied (with an overhanging upper storey). The left-hand house (on Church Street) was William Hole's baker's and confectioner's shop with an entrance from the front of the building. The bakery was situated in the yard behind. The Conservative Club (right) opened here in 1907 in the house built in 1781 by Benjamin Webb, a former headmaster of Odiham Grammar School. The 17th-century timber-framed Bell Inn next door was probably refronted at this time.

My Great, Great grandparents, John and Jane Crocker lived here in 1915 before they both died.
My grandfather, and his family came from Odiham. They lived at Bury Cottage until at least 1908. I am connected to the Peskett, Clark, Champion, Pink, Lee and Windiate families of Odiham. Regards, Andrew.
