My grandparents lived in the old rectory which was a few hundred yards from the Beckford Arms. I spent many happy holidays there with my cousins. We had wonderful Christmases, lots of snow and in the better weather long bike rides. Idyllic days. Shopping in Tisbury, and going to Wardour Castle, also my grandfather liked to go to Scats.

In fact these are not Lotmore Cottages, which were along the road that leads to the River Wylye, immediately left in the photograph past the front of the Royal Oak pub on the left, about 50 metres down on the right. I know this because I lived in Lotmore as a small boy, in the first of two semi detached cottages.... [more]

Wiltshire Churches Photographic Memories
Teffont, 10 miles west of Salisbury, is the combination of the villages of Teffont Evias and Teffont Magna; both have small churches maintained and still in use by the whole combined parish of about 250 villagers. St Edward's is in Teffont Magna. It is mostly late 13th-century, and has Saxon origins. An Anglo-Saxon cross shaft with interlacing is probably 9th century. The tiny nave and chancel have no arch; the plaster ceiling probably... [more]

The importance of Salisbury to the military establishment after the war can be seen in this picture of Fish Row, just behind the Guildhall. A Pickfords lorry is fighting its way along the narrow street, possibly heading for the Military Tailors in the left foreground, or to the Servicemen's Hostel next door.

The Cathedral viewed from the south has been a favourite subject for artists—including, of course, Constable. This particular view is from the Old Mill at Harnham, and shows the Mill itself, the river and the water meadows as well as the Cathedral.
