Swanmore, The Bricklayers Arms 1969
Ref: S424020
At the time of the 1881 census The Bricklayers Arms and Terrace was owned and operated by my great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Bevis, maiden name Pouncy, who was enumerated as a widow and "Licensed Victualler", or seller of spirits. My great-grandmother, Sarah Ann Hollis, maiden name Gulliver, and my grandfather, Owen Pouncy Hollis, were also living at this address.

Bishops Waltham, the Bunch of Grapes c1955
Ref: B612018
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.

Bishops Waltham, the Palace Ruins c1955
Ref: B612040
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.

I used to go to a pre-school in Wickham that got turned into tendy flats/houses. It used to be just down the hill from Clarkes and had an old house with the most wonderful almost 'secret' garden ajoining the school and the old lady that owned it used to let us go and play underneath the huge old apple tree in it.
Also remember my mum buying me a pink sugar mouse from 'Caces' bakery every Friday afternoon.
