Miss McFall was apparently quite a character so will probably be remembered by many of the villagers beyond a certain age.
One little story that relates to her notoriety:
I was in the County Hospital for a week in the mid 1990s (having my gall bladder removed) and a man in the bed next to me got into conversation with me.
He said he came from Blandford and wondered where I lived.
I told him Bere Regis.
He responded " I know Bere Regis quite well, where abouts?". "At the top of Rye Hill" I said. "Ah, would that be near where Miss McFall used to live?" he said..
