A lot of people are probably hoping that 2017 will be better The than 2016 but be careful what you wish for. 100 years ago, at the end of 1916, Tsar Nicholas II wrote in his diary “The Year 1916 was cursed; 1917 will surely Bramley be better!”. He should have appreciated 1916 a bit more because, sadly for him, on 22 March 1917 he was placed under house arrest with his family and came to Magazine a sticky end in 1918. Perhaps there is a moral there somewhere – enjoy life while you can or “Always for Bramley and look on the bright side of life” as Monty Python would say. I think children can sometimes be better at this than adults – possibly because they don’t have to Little London think about tedious things such as mortgages and tax returns. A lot of people February 2017 are understandably concerned about the amount of building in Bramley, and looking at the picture on page 19 I do wonder how many more of those Chairman of Steering Group: green fields will be built on during my lifetime.

As you will read on page 7, John and Ann Lenton have gone on a three-month Editor: sabbatical until Easter.

Sarah [email protected] Mitchell, who preceded me as editor, is staying in the vicarage with her husband Schools Editor: while John and Ann are away so perhaps I can go on a sabbatical too…… Emily Sykes Most people have probably broken any New Year resolutions they made by now but if you had any I am sure they were positive ones – get more exercise, Advertising: Christine Delve sort out the finances, lose weight. I am yet to meet anyone who decided that [email protected] the New Year was a time eat more sugar and take up smoking. If you managed www.fromthesmallestseed.co.uk to have a dry January then well done – you have a lot more will power than me. Take a look at page 8 to see how you could reward yourself with a locally Treasurer: brewed pint. If you resolved to keep fit but are finding it difficult to motivate Colin Simmons (881223) yourself then perhaps you will be inspired by the articles on page 14, or you’ll [email protected] decide to join one of the many classes advertised on page 32.

HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.

  • Basingstoke Inns, Breweries and Public Houses 1600 - 2015
    BASINGSTOKE INNS, BREWERIES AND PUBLIC HOUSES 1600 - 2015 Basingstoke Inns 1600 – 1850 Basingstoke was an important trading centre and staging post from medieval times until the 19th century. Its position on the junction of the Great Western Road between London and the West Country and the roads from Portsmouth and Southampton to the North, meant that it needed several great inns to cater for the travellers, traders and customers who came to the town. The inns of Basingstoke provided overnight accommodation for those who were journeying over long distances, hospitality for those who came from afar to trade in cloth, and refreshment for the farmers and others who visited the weekly markets. There were many more ale houses which were smaller and probably served a more local clientele In 1622 a record of the amount of malt that was brewed in Basingstoke listed five inns - the Angel, the Bell, the Chequers, the George and the Maidenhead - and 15 alehouses that were brewing beer.1 In 1636, the Bell, Maidenhead and George were recorded in a London publication.2 The landlord of the Bell was John Crosse who died in 1625 in which year the Bell had seven main bedrooms, along with four other rooms which had beds in them, including the servants’ chamber. His goods included 43 oz of silver plate as well as pewter weighing 234 lb.3 In 1631, Thomas Miles, tapster of the Bell, paid a shilling to sit in the Tapster’s Seat in the Gallery of St Michael’s Church.4 The Bell was where the marquis of Winchester was kept after his defeat at the siege of Basing House before being moved to the Tower of London.
