More about this scene

Ducks sometimes swim on the river flowing through this charming village, which used to be renowned for truffle hunting. In 1975, a stone was erected marking the site of the Civil War battle of Cheriton that lies to the east of the village – the battle took place in 1644. In the village centre is the church of St Michael and All Angels. Some of the stained glass was given in memory of men killed in the First World War.

Does anyone remember Mr. Stevens? He used to keep the village tidy; always sweeping the roadside. He had a daughter Betty who I would love to know of her whereabouts as she was a friend of mine when we went to Perins school in Alresford, and when we left she came to work with me at Hindhead regards Marian Plummer
