More about this scene

The post office, run by Robert Farrant, is on the left next to Strickland Cottage (is there a link with the author Agnes Strickland of Reydon?). In the gabled building was either Harry Benstead or William Terry, saddlers, followed by the Swan, run by Mrs Mary Newberry. At the very top of the street is the Lion, where George Hill was also a baker and confectioner.

According to my research, the Wangford Post Office was, in 1901, run by Philip W. Champ (Sub Postmaster) and his brother Septimus S. Champ (Post Offfice Assistant). I am related to them by marriage. I believe that Philip died in the First World War.
