Tel. (0264) 710248 'Charles and Pam' The story of a much respected couple. At the end of Wherwell lie two tiny hamlets, unknown except to natives, called Cottonworth and Fullerton. Cottonworth is, in fact, a postal address although it consists of ten houses at most and is completely baffling even to Andover taxi drivers who have driven around the area all their working lives. It is not unknown however to flocks of American tourists who appear every summer eager to see their ancestral home. These hamlets consist almost entirely of the properties owned by Fullerton Arms Limited, a company set up by Major Charles Liddell to handle an estate left to him by his great uncle. The estate was divided between two brothers and stretches between Cottonworth, at the far end of Wherwell, to the Clatfords, The part of it that is clustered around the winding river Anton before it joins the Test is farmed by Major Charles Liddell who has lived at Fullerton Grange with his wife Pamela since he inherited the estate in 1957. The name Liddell conjures up Alice in Wonderland for most people - and in this case rightly so. The Alice Liddell who inspired the Reverend Charles Dodgeson to write the well-known stories was the great-aunt of Charles Liddell, the sister of his grand-father and one of a very large family with many descendants. One of Charles and Pamela's daughters is another Alice Liddell. The estate was owned by William Cory who had lived at Fullerton Manor with his sister Alice for a great many years. Charles had visited it often during his childhood. "I caught my first fish in the river Anton just next to the Mill," said Charles. "My nanny held on to me from behind by my coat-tails. Of course the Mill was still working then." His son James, who is responsible for the dairy herd and lives with his wife and family just across the main road at Cottonworth, also caught his first fish on the river Anton and his son Tom, 11, caught his on the same stretch last summer. Charles, 71, and Pamela, 70, were both brought up in Devon, Charles in Tiverton and Pamela near Exeter. They met as teenagers. "We were unofficially engaged for seven years and officially engaged for nine days," remembered Pamela. It was, of course, the second world war that caused the long delay as it did for thousands of young couples at that time. Charles joined the Rifle Brigade and went to India in 1937 where he spent two years in Meerut, near Delhi. He came home on a short leave just before war broke out and then served abroad until 1944 when he was able to get home to marry Pamela at last. She meanwhile had been working as a VAD in a Devon hospital which was bombed twice. "The first casualty I had to face was someone with an arm blown off," she said. "I didn't mind anything much after that. On one occasion when the hospital was bombed one wing was completely destroyed - it had narrowly missed the nurses home. In the morning I went to the brush cupboard to get something to start clearing up and a dead body fell out. I shoved it back in and carried on cleaning." Charles had spent most of the war fighting in the Western Desert where he was awarded on of the first MCs of the war for his bravery in finding a safe path through a minefield. He also arrested Himmler's brother by a curious accident towards the end of the war when he surrendered himself to the allied troops. A modest man, Charles will say little about his war experiences in the desert, except: "it was pretty uncomfortable but it is nice to know that we didn't do much damage." In 1944 Charles returned to England for his nine day official engagement and marriage to Pamela. Clothes were a problem. "My wedding dress was made up of all sorts of bits and pieces from other people's dresses. The sleeves came from one relative and the lace from another. I was lucky to have one at all," said Pamela. Charles and Pam on their wedding day ,# Pam with her daughter Charles was next posted to Belgium and remained abroad until the end of the war. Pamela remained at home and his eldest daughter was born at Tiverton. He didn't see her until she was nearly a year old. During the early part of their married life the couple moved about between Germany, Kenya, Malaya and, closer to home, Winchester. In 1957 they came home for good. By this time there were two more children, James and Alice, and they felt it was time to put down roots. If Charles had remained in the army another term abroad would have been inevitable and the couple felt the family should not be separated any further. The answer was ready made. Great Uncle William Cory had died and left the estate to Charles and his brother Adrian who had spent his working life managing farms. "I was quite right to stop soldiering, particularly since it meant that I had to leave the family behind," said Charles. "It was time to settle down." "I knew this place so well. I used to come here during school half terms. I learned to fish here. I learned to shoot here and had enjoyed it all so much." It was a welcome change for Pamela too. "The first years here were lovely," she said. "We had always been on the move ever since we were married. We were able to put roots down at last. We loved it." The family moved into the beautiful mellow Queen Anne house with the walled garden where Charles and Pamela live to this day. Great Aunt Alice Cory lived up the hill at the Manor until she died in 1962 at the age of 98. "We didn't go to live there because we had such difficulty in getting people to help in the house," said Pamela. "They didn't like to walk down the long drive in the dark." Their children spent their holidays roaming the countryside, helping on the farm, riding, swimming and fishing in the river. Now their grandchildren enjoy the same pleasures. Charles and Pam with granchi/d Luke Daughter Susan, married with two grown up daughters and one son, lives in London. Son James lives on the estate with wife Rachel and children, Georgie, Tom and Hugh. Daughter Alice lives in Somerset with her husband and two small sons. "We have eight grandchildren, 24 great nephews and nieces and five great, great nephews and nieces," said Pamela. Quite a collection - but then she is used to a large family. She had, at one time, no less than 36 first cousins. Although the family have grown up and left home, life has been hardly less busy for Charles and Pamela. Work on the farm goes on as usual and there is always plenty to do. Then there are the horses - Charles' great love. He hunts during the season with the Portman hunt in Dorset and breeds in a small way. Most mornings of the week, whatever the weather, he is to be seen riding around the estate on Henry, his dark bay hunter. "I do love horses. I have been involved with them all my life," he said. "I breed them just because I love them, but then, unfortunately, I can't bear to sell them. I have about eight at the moment." At the other end of the scale Pamela keeps chickens, ducks and one lone gander with a bad limp. Both have been very busy in the community. Charles has just retired as churchwarden at Wherwell church after 30 years of service. "My father was churchwarden here and the vicar of the time was determined that I should take over," he said. "I became churchwarden the moment I got back from soldiering." He has also served as a Justice of the Peace until 1987. "During that time Andover has changed tremendously," he said. "From a small market town it has grown out of all recognition. When I first became a Justice of the Peace we dealt with almost nothing else but motoring offences but subsequently it has been more in the line of petty theft and affray and that kind of thing. However, on the whole I think Andover is a pretty law-abiding place." Charles and Henry A stint as High Sheriff of the county in 1975 involved Pamela in a lot of entertaining. "We had sixteen dinner parties in one year," she said. "Of course we had to be present whenever royalty came to the county. The Duke of Edinburgh visited during our year and so did Princess Margaret and Princess Alexandra." Pamela too plays a full part in community life.

In regard to an inquiry into the history of encaustic tiles, much, may be said in support of the study in its relation to the revival of decorative art. In this respecT:. a great deal has. been written and done, from which the present age has derived no little advantage. But from a wider and more important point of view, the subject is one which forms part of the general history'of art and invention. In a review x of M. Emile Am6's (a French architect) work on encaustic paving tiles of the middle ages and of the renaissance in France, occurs the following remark:—" Among all the revivals of mediaeval artwhich have taken place of late years, perhaps none is more striking than that of paving tiles, with or without encaustic patterns; and this is the more striking, inasmuch as no branch of art had been more entirely neglected. We now have the most eminent architects of the day giving patterns to the manufacturers for paving tiles, and two eminent French antiquaries have undertaken to write their history, viz., M.

  • Why Grateley? Reflections on Anglo-Saxon Kingship in a Hampshire Landscape
    WHY GRATELEY? REFLECTIONS ON ANGLO-SAXON KINGSHIP IN A HAMPSHIRE LANDSCAPE RYAN LAVELLE Faculty of Social Sciences (History), University of Winchester, Winchester, Hants.

This electronic version is has been made available by kind permission of the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society http://www.fieldclub.hants.org.uk/ ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the context of the promulgation of the first ‘national’ lawcode of King Athelstan at Grateley (c.925x30; probably 926x7). A localised context allows a consideration of the arrangements of the royal resources which supplied the Anglo-Saxon ‘national’ assembly, the witangemot. In so doing, the paper looks at royal estate organisation in Andover hundred in north- western Hampshire, making a case for the significance of Andover itself. Finally, the role of the landscape in the political ritual of lawmaking is discussed. INTRODUCTION article may not concur with Wood’s tentative designation of Andover and Grateley as separate This paper addresses the exercise of Anglo- territories, each focused on hillforts, it is intended Saxon kingship, manifested in land organisation to build on his proposition, addressing the in the hundred of Andover. For the most part, the question of the royal territory—arguably an early area under discussion is an undulating chalk royal territory—in the expression of authority on downland landscape to which some distinctive a ‘national’ scale.

    NAME Wherwell PARISH Wherwell HUNDRED Wherwell DISTRICT Test Valley NGR SU 389408 GEOLOGY Upper chalk and alluvium SITE CONTEXT The village lies on the NW bank of the River Test, mainly on the lower slopes of the steep valley side but with some houses actually on the flood plain alongside the river. The 50m contour runs through the settlement almost along the line of the SW-NE road. To the NW the valley side rises sharply to over 90m OD. PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION Composite. Regular rows and irregular row. Within the plan of Wherwell several blocks of regular rows are obvious. On the SE side of the river alongside the lane that leads to the church there is a block of three plots of equal size with a thinner and shorter plot along the river bank. On the N side of the lane there are two units with shorter tofts, the E unit appearing to be later than the W unit as it overlaps the W unit along the rear boundary. On the NW side of the river and on the N side of the lane to the church there are the remains of another regular row, the rear boundary of which curves round to continue as the rear boundary of some of the plots along the main street through the village. Opposite the junction of Church Street and the main road on the NW side of the road there in another regular row which appears to have had some of its plots amalgamated. The rear boundary continues either side of the row but bounds empty, open fields except for a very small plot in the N field.
