The Abbey Moor Park & the ghost of Jonathan Swift.
I went to Farnham art school in 1968-1971, and at that time, Moor Park was used as a conference centre, available for hire, and inclusive of staff and an elderly chaplain called Dr Bird. As you know, Moor Park was the first place Jonathan Swift worked at when he arrived in England, and he was secretary to Sir William Temple. We had a conference there over a period of days, and - as we were warned - something strange always happened at these events. Our one involved a sort of mass-hysteria which was amusingly disruptive. We all blamed Dean Swift for these events afterwards.
The whole area encompassing Waverley Abbey, Stella's Cottage, Mother Ludlam's Hole, Father Foote's Hole and Moor Park is extraordinary, and I have written a fictional book (www.tjstephenson.com) It is (imaginatively) titled 'Waverley Abbey' by Thomas J Stephenson. I have had some communication from the nice people who run the Constance Spry centre at Moor Park, and they seem to have been good custodians of the place.
Every time I am back in the area - which is infrequently - I always visit Waverley and the environs. It is a magical place. P.S. I am going to snitch part of one photo of Stella's Cottage for the book - with your permission, editor!
Stephen.

Frensham, the Big Pond c1955
Ref: F47004
I always remember stopping off for a paddle here on my way home from Frensham Junior school. I remember my nan used to give me my bus fare. But I used to prefer to walk along past the pond so I could stop for a quick paddle.

Frensham, the Post Office c1965
Ref: F47033
I remember walking to this post office many a time as I used to live with my nan etc. at Churt House Cottage. The post office was run by a lady of the name Mrs Heaps. I used to go there for the big bottles of Tizer.
