More about this scene

The bold square brick tower was built onto a 13th-century base c1656 after an earlier tower had collapsed. The west doorway of the tower was remodelled in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The porch of the doorway on the south wall was removed about this time. Adjacent to it between the two windows are two pre-Reformation mass clocks; they are sundials, but their gnomons (the projecting part that casts the shad- ow) have long since disappeared. The brick and tile building on the right is known as the Pest House.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I owned 'Hillside Cottage' an an area known as Hillside just outside the town.
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.
