A Yokel's Tale
A Personal Recollection of growing up during the last days of the pedestrian era in rural England by Tom Thornton A Yokel's Tale My earliest recollection of my Thornton grandparents, Alice and Tom, dates back to my pre-school years, when my Mum and Dad occasionally visited them at May Cottages, Longwood Dean. They lived at the south end of a group of four tied Mock Tudor cottages which had steep brick steps leading up from the narrow lane to the heavy wooden gate which opened onto a long narrow garden sloping up past the house, probably about ¼ of an acre. In front of the house to the right and stretching 50 yards up to the hen house was Granddad's immaculate vegetable garden. To the left of the seemingly long gravel path was a beautifully manicured lawn with steep banks down which we rolled and tumbled on while the grown-ups had tea in the house and conversations that we were never allowed to hear. Children were required to be “seen and not... Read more
The Long Long Walk
My memory of Owslebury goes back to the hot summer of 1937. I lived in Bishopstoke at that time, being a lad of nine years old. My father had just bought our first car, not a posh one and looking back I doubt if it would pass an MOT of today. It was a little red Austin 7 Nippy that had long passed its sell-by date, but it made us the only family in our street that had wheels and gave us the chance to get away from the village to visit places like the New Forest, Lepe and a favourite evening run to Owslebury. We would sit on a grass island in the road that had a water pump close to the village pub.

My sister and I would play around... Read more
Ancestry, Beginning in Owslebury in 1677
My distant relative, John Wild was born in Owslebury in 1677. He married Mary Andrews in 1747, the family then moved to Twyford and then Hursley, and finally we ended up in Winchester.
'Old Wood' From 1800's
I own 2 pieces of oak furniture which my great grandfather made from the old ruins of the Palace. They lived in Bishops Waltham and I believe (informed by my father of 87) his family owned 2 local mills.

The Grapes, St Peters Street,1871
My grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Higgs, was widowed in 1869, when her husband, John Russell Higgs, was drowned at sea. Her brother Silas Short was working at the brickyard in the town so she and her 2 children, Annie and Arthur (my father), moved to Bishops Waltham to be near him. Elizabeth ran the "Grapes" as it was then called for about 6 years before moving to Sussex.
I never knew my grandmother but I was very moved to find the lovely little pub and enjoyed having a drink there with my family.

The Palace Ruins Bishopswalthem
We have 2 small vase and an ink well in pink with a picture of The Palace Ruins Bishopswalthem on the front of each. My father William John Aburrow was born in Bishopswalthem and used to tell me about the tunnels under the ruins. We are thinking of giving the vase and ink well to the museum at the ruins.
