Hambledon Hall was situated on the East side of Hambledon Reservoir at map ref 790-287, it was derelict well over 60 years ago. The last people to farm that land were the Wrights, they had three sons George, Harry and Richard, they moved to Leafield Barn Farm in Sandy Lane, well before the 2nd WW. Only Richard carried on farming, Harry went to work at Moseleys bakery and I think George became a property repairer, never saw him much, but I knew Richard and Harry.

Retlaw.
