Images and villagers of long ago with no-where to easily fit into this website.
If you have any more info or old images you would like to be placed here then please email them here
Note from the Website editor:-
James is my son-in-law who married my daughter Chloe
James brought back a load of old photos from his Grandmas House to sort through- found this one (all named and labelled) taken in Bere Regis of the Toms family.
Hopefully more old Bere Regis photos will emerge!
