Botley is a charming village in Hampshire. It has a long history stretching back 1,500 years and it is still thriving. Here are some pictures I took of the village.

Curbridge was once quern bridge (a quern was used to grind grain to flour)—no idea why it had that odd name.

A charming half-timbered building near Curbridge. It looks as if it’s about to fall over!
