About this book
A Roman road, a hand mill stone and the shape of a narrow parish provide starting points for Charlotte M. Yonge's history of Otterbourne in Hampshire. She gathers local recollections alongside accounts of early settlement, manor customs and the remains of nearby Merdon Castle. Rivers, meadows, woodland and chalk hills help explain how the village took shape.
Later passages bring the past down to the scale of everyday life. Yonge describes the boxes fitted around a family carriage, a two-day trip to Plymouth and the old church before 1830, with its oak pews, galleries and bells. Even the uncertain timing of Sunday services becomes part of the record.
