More about this scene
Just behind the rectory lies Eversley church, over which the writer Charles Kingsley presided as rector. He wrote The Water Babies while he lived here. Kingsley and his wife are buried in the churchyard. Inside the church is a curious sarsen stone hidden beneath a trap door. It might well be part of the foundations of a heathen place of worship.

From 1952 to 1981, the sizeable, detached red ...see more
I have posted on this interesting sight in the past - back in May 2009. I was talking recently about Staverton House in Lower Common with a friend, another former Eversley-ite, as we both had a Saturday job there circa 1978/80.
Staverton house, is, in part very old. I believe it was listed in the Doomsday book. It sits at the end of a long drive near Mud lane which is off Lower Common. In the ...see more
Although having no connection with Eversley I have been researching a gentleman named James Hindmarsh who I have found recorded on the night of the 1891 Census as a boarder at the White Hart in Eversley. The Inn Keeper at that time was William Townsend, who lived there with wife Ann & two children, William G aged 9 & Elizabeth E aged 10. I was curious to know whether any of those in the above Frith photo, ...see more
