Hi there, we have been looking to buy Drove Cottage, Bishopstone and have just found out it has been flooded in the past. Does anyone know to what extent it flooded (the kitchen is at a lower level so possibly just area) and it looks to be surface water /saturated ground that caused the problem rather than the Eble bursting its banks. Does the area regularly flood and what have other residents done to combat the problem? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have just bought a painting of Bishopston church by Ian Richards. The paint is acrylic. The style and dress of the churchgoers depicted suggests it may be from the 1950's. If anyone has any information regarding Ian Richards, I should be grateful for it.

You can see the picture (provided earlier by William) and a note about Ian Richards on the Village History - Village Photo Archive page.

Ian was my friend and neighbour in Bishopstone for around 30 years until he died. I do have some of his work and may be able to answer some questions which you may have.

A body of Fine Old Men walked your footpaths and bridleways yesterday based upon a magnificent lunch at the White Hart. We met some delightful villagers en route and will return to your beautiful village in the Spring.

Remember the advice to look at the walking routes on the village website, chaps.

Could anyone please advise who we can contact regarding the state of Faulstone/Mill Lane. I appreciate a lot of work is being carried out with the redevelopment of the barns but the lanes are becoming 'mud locked'(if that's a word!) and becoming compacted. Driving and walking along the said lanes will I'm afraid become quite treacherous if and when the frost appears.Also the ditches seem to be suffering.

Thank you for your comment. I have taken the matter of the state of the road up with the developers. Arrangements are already in hand for the road-side ditches to be cleared.

We do indeed have a lovely village and a lovely pub what a shame I have to air my views here as I do not have Facebook which many villagers have taken too in support of a pub that is bias in who it admits and feels it necessary to charge extortionate amounts for takeaway food that you could have delivered half the price. I have no issue with the pub as a whole good luck to them but when you listen to the few you turn away the masses

I lived in the village from 1952 till about 1970, a very happy childhood there, Having a glance through the photo section, I have to admit there is a possibility my Late Father and I grace one or two photos, My father was Fred Baker a Watercress cutter for S Barter and we first lived in the cottage next to Bridge House then moved to No 1 The Orchard. I can just remember the 1953 Coronation Festival Held in a field next to one of the farms ( Drapers ?). Thank fully my memory is quite good and my head is full a wonderful memory's. It is very much in my diary to visit in 2017 along with the 100 year celebrations of my Army Regiment, Royal Tank Regiment at Bovington, a regiment I left Bishopstone to Join in 1965, for 25 years, (Good God that long).

I have just had to race around the house closing all the windows, but not quickly enough to stop the horrible smell of bonfire smoke that is blowing directly at us. It is stinging my eyes and irritating my throat. It's 7pm and I would have liked to have left the washing out and had the windows open for longer. When will this form of air pollution be outlawed?
