Thanks Tom, but it’s not mentioned there.
I remember very little about the book but it did describe the landscape beautifully, and I was going to re-read it.
Interesting to read the mention of Stanley Spencer and the Sandham Memorial Chapel. My grandfather was one of the bricklayers who built it, and I went to secondary school in Burghclere so have strong ties to the area.
I’ve often thought about doing a forum ride to Burghclere, possibly via Church Crookham, to see the chapel and Spencer’s work.
