March 2021 The BRAMLEYFOR BRAMLEY AND LITTLE LONDON Magazine • Saving the Toads • Walking for Charity • Keeping Bramley Tidy Plus all the usual articles and much more 2 WELCOME Have you ever started a task and then wished you hadn’t? Having put it off for years, lockdown seemed the perfect opportunity to label all my photograph albums and put The them in date order. I thought it would take a couple of hours but I hadn’t factored in the time I would spend laughing at the terrible hairstyles we had in the 80s and 90s, reminiscing about holidays around the globe (remember them?) and wondering Bramley how I ever managed to get a degree given the amount of partying and drinking I did at University. Nor did I realise quite how many albums I had: at least 80, all filled Magazine with real photos, not the digital ones we have now. Many of you will find it difficult to believe that there was once a time when you couldn’t look at your photos instantly for Bramley and and delete the duds. You had to send the film to Truprint or wherever, and wait at least a week to find out you had forgotten to use the flash when taking that special Little London picture of your friend’s wedding cake, or the nice man who took your photo in front of the Eiffel Tower cut your head off (no selfie sticks then). March 2021 Just looking at a photograph can bring back so many memories and transport Chairman of Steering Group: you back to the precise moment it was taken. I love the photos on page 9 showing Rhydian Vaughan MBE children having the holiday of a lifetime. You can almost hear their screams as [email protected] they ride the roller coaster. Other photos may provoke a negative reaction, such as those on pages 16 and 17. How can so much litter be discarded without a moment’s Editor: thought? Then you have photographs that make you marvel at the beauty of nature: Rachel Barclay Smith the intricate icicles on the front page for instance, or the toads on page 11. Okay, the [email protected] toads aren’t exactly beautiful but I am pleased they have been rescued from a messy death on Cufaude Lane. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what is a Schools Editor: photo of a picture worth? If you turn to page 17 you can work out what on earth I am Emily Sykes talking about. I’m sure many of you will recognise the view. As well as photographs, we have all the usual articles, together with updates from Advertising: the Parish Council and County Council and stories of local heroes doing great work Keith Dilliway for charity and the environment. The proposed solar farm continues to divide [email protected] opinion so it’s good to have both sides of the argument on pages 18 and 19. Treasurer: I had hoped to include a photograph of some daffodils for all our Welsh friends but Nairn Glen as I write this in mid-February, they are stubbornly refusing to flower.

What a transformation! I was overwhelmed by the response I received from everyone in Bramley to help clear our village of litter. This is why the ‘Bramley Litter Heroes’ was created. We now have our own Facebook page where our volunteers can log in and record their progress. This has come about because we have not had our usual community village litter-pick for nearly a year now, due to the pandemic. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone has been very rewarding - and it’s also a great form of exercise! If you are out litter picking I would like to remind everybody to wear strong sturdy shoes or boots, a hi- viz vest or jacket and gloves. But most of all stay safe!

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.
