More about this scene
French soldiers were held as prisoners at Odiham during the Napoleonic wars, living in a camp dug out of an old chalk pit. The churchyard contains the graves of several prisoners. Many of Odiham's houses are a mixture of Georgian and Tudor; some are timber-framed, which was common before local bricks came into general use in the 18th century.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My parents lived in 'The Coachman's Cottage', which can be seen on the brow of the hill in King's Street, 1950-60. 'Lovelace' is almost opposite.
My Great, Great grandparents, John and Jane Crocker lived here in 1915 before they both died.
My grandfather, and his family came from Odiham. They lived at Bury Cottage until at least 1908. I am connected to the Peskett, Clark, Champion, Pink, Lee and Windiate families of Odiham.
Regards, Andrew.
My brother Joe is buried in Odiham He was in the Royal Air Force.
