More about this scene
The Bishop of Winchester granted a weekly market here in the 13th century, and looking at this photograph of one of the village streets, little has changed since the mid 1950s. It is hard to believe that it was once a prosperous, fast-growing town. The church was enlarged several times and later restored.

I can remember Stella Watson and her husband Jim being the landlords of the George.
My mum use to have the tea rooms when I was a child called The Copper Kettle.

I remember having to go to school through the church and use to run like mad from one end of the church to the other! If anyone has any photo's of The Copper Kettle I would love to see some, or ...see more
I was the last Postmaster to run Hambledon PO. I am very sorry to say that apart from a few very kind people in the village, no one offered any help or support when I needed it. All I mostly received was criticism from the villagers. One of the sad things about living in England is the constant talk about community spirit, I can tell you, I found it lacking in Hambledon.
