On the righgt, by the road, are two milk churns awaiting collection. Next to them is the drive to Medstead Manor House. It was built in 1905 by Edmund Purefoy Ellis Jervoise, but by 1915 Lady Bradford was living there. In 1955, she decided to move, and the house was acquired by the Convent of St Lucy.

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Medstead
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I went to this school during part of the Second World War years and was in Miss Backhouse's class, she used give you the ruler across the back of your hands if you were caught talking. Other boys that were there at that time were Chris Prier, Terry Jeffries and the Rawling brothers. Happy Days.
I also went to Medstead School from 1970 to 1975. I loved this little school, I can remember some of the teachers, Mrs Hill, Mrs Westlake, Miss Shaw, Mr. Orbell, Mr. Roberts, Mrs Macartan. Headmaster was Mr. Benham. School dinners here were THE best! The late Mrs. Wooster was the brilliant Cook, along with her team, Mrs. Letts, and Mrs. Keenan.
This was my school from 1962-1965, the last year l was in Miss May's class where she was the bully, she made my life a misery. The village was a delight to grow up in. l loved it there.
I went to school here from about 1971 when I had just turned 6 until the age of 11 when I was sent off to the Amery Hill Secondary, in nearby Alton.
