However, such war memorials, which one encounters so frequently along the way, regardless of nationality, language, or name, are always a testimony – still significant and relevant today – to the horrors of war and tyranny. They therefore all have two essential functions, and this continues anew for each generation: -1- To commemorate and remember the victims -2- To remind people of the need to maintain peace

Lovely architecture around the church

Well-preserved deserted medieval settlement of Whitcombe. Earthworks include hollow way, lynchets, small enclosures, house platforms and a pond. A gorgeous walk across the area with such a historic past.

There is a single pub called the “The Prince Of Wales” at Hamhill, which sells, ice cream, ales, ciders, and food… With out door seating, overlooking the rolling Slopes.

Ham Hill has been quarried for so many generations that it’s surprising there’s still a hill there at all. The local hamstone has a pretty honey yellow hue to it and many of the locals buildings, and indeed entire villages, have been built with it. The quarry has long been defunct and, left to nature’s own devices, it has become an intriguing landscape of grassy mounds. It’s fun to roam around, particularly if you have children in tow.
