I lived in Rose Cottage from mid 1965 to July 1966 when we were posted to Germany. At the time it was divided into two cottages. Myself, my husband and my 6mths old son lived in no2 which was the cottage on the left side looking front on. My husband was in the army. We had a choice of Rose Cottage... [more]

Hampshire memories
1946, I was stationed at RAF Middle Wallop and remember the village with watercress beds. Rationing was of the vogue but next to the aerodrome was a bungalow that always supplied eggs and chips to ever hungry airmen.
If anyone remembers me please get in touch. Jack Lawford.

My father was the local postman until he had a serious accident at Middle Wallop. One of my memories of Nether Wallop was him telling me how it had snowed so hard on one occasion that when he delivered mail in School Lane where the wind blew in off the aerodrome he was dropping the mail through the upstairs windows of...

I have two beautiful original water colour paintings of Nether Wallop. One is of St Andrews Church and the other is of a thatched cottage leading up to the church.
Both are signed E Flower 41 and I was hoping someone may be able to help me find out more about this artist.

I was the village policeman, 1986-1991. I used to stand on the bridge in the photograph on the days of a wedding to ensure the newly-weds could get out onto the main road without waiting, and to help guests leave 'in convoy' where necessary so as to follow each other to the reception. Weddings often attracted guests 'from the city' who... [more]

Ah, The Old Thatch. I remember it well, for this is where I grew up from the early 1940s until 1956. By today's standards it was grim: no heating, no running water, no flush loo - nothing. Yet it was a wonderful place in which to grow up and I will never lose my love for that old cottage. I still... [more]

Do you see the thatch cottage by the bridge? My son and daughter-in-law and our grandchildren now live there, since 2002. It is such a lovely place to bring up children I would love to hear from anyone who could let us know any history to their house.

My father, Richard (Dick) Cherrington was the village policeman in Nether Wallop during World War 2 and I was born in the Police House in the village in August 1944. My first memories ever were of an apple tree in our garden which my brother could climb and I couldn't - I was not very happy about that! I... [more]

Extracts From Over Wallop & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Over Wallop, inspired by Frith photos.
Next to the thatched cottages on the left is the White Hart pub. We can see thatched cob walls on both the left and the right; Over Wallop is the place to go in Hampshire to see this regional speciality. Middle, Nether and Over Wallop line the Wallop Brook that joins the River Test above Bossington.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
Wallop means 'valley of the stream,' and if we look closely we can just see the Wallop brook on the left of the road. Nearby is an old RAF Battle of Britain fighter station; 20 or so years before this picture was taken, the skies above the village would have echoed to the unforgettable sound of Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Petersfield - A History & Celebration
The cenotaph in the High Street commemorates those who died in battle but whose remains lie elsewhere. It is of unusual and classic appearance; it was designed by the architect Harry Inigo Triggs, who had travelled and studied in Italy. The detailing is borrowed from the eight blank panels in the Medici chapel in Florence; on these panels are carved the names of the town's dead of the First World... [more]
