My name is Graham Ward and between 1955 - 1957 I was a National Serviceman based at the RAPC camp just outside Stockbridge. I have fond memories of Stockbridge and would like to renew aquaintance with anyone who remembers me.
Please email me at 'gk.ward@sky.com' for a chat.

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.

Only recently has development begun in well- concealed pockets. It is said that the Romans used bundles of faggots to strengthen the ancient peaty way. Sheep could be rested and watered in the...
