More about this scene

The 16th-century Falkland Arms is a typically olde-worlde English pub. It was once owned by the Falkland family, hence its name. The Falkland Islands were named after Viscount Falkland, who was killed at the Battle of Naseby in 1643. The stocks have succumbed to wood rot and are no longer there.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I went to Tew Park in September 1940 as an evacuee, the manor house had been taken over by a school for handicapped children from Fulham, south west London. I was 13 years old and the only child from Tottenham. I soon made friends with the other children, even some from the village of Great Tew, and in 1941 I was May Queen and a boy from the village was May King. I left in 1942 and returned to Tottenham. I am the mother of Terry Maloney, my maidon name was Peggy Oliver.
