Owslebury – Then and Now Evelyn Houghton Owslebury is a small Hampshire village situated high on a hill between the ancient city of Winchester and Marwell Zoological Park. It is largely unknown to anyone who does not live in the village. Even in 1086 when William the Conqueror compiled his Domesday Book Owslebury was not recorded. At the beginning of the third millennium, this book is an attempt to rectify this omission. It is a snapshot of the village and its surrounding hamlets now. It records the changes of the last hundred years from January, 1900, until December, 2000 and stories of the people who have shaped this unique part of Hampshire. This rich heritage is chronicled by a host of fascinating photographs which depicts the unfolding tapestry of life and provides a legacy for future generations of villagers. This extensively illustrated book provides a guide through the village, revealing glimpses of life then and portraying this welcoming community now.
