More about this scene

The A29 that runs in a straight line through the village follows the course of the Roman Stane Street. The name Ockley comes from 'Occa's lea` - a Saxon who made a clearing in the wood here. Four pubs are situated in Ockley, and the well and pump (foreground right) were installed in 1837 following a bequest from a wealthy governess.

My mother died in 1943,when I was still a child. It was strange, terrible time but I remember vividly standing in the peaceful churchyard at the burial. The place is dear to my heart.
