Home Church Memorial More Information Links
A web page sponsored by present-day residents of
Cottisford (Fordlow) and Juniper Hill (Lark Rise) who share with many people
round the world a warm affection for Flora Thompson as revealed by her
writings.
The Parish is not greatly changed since Flora’s time -
about a dozen new houses have been built, but the population is still well
under 200. Although Watford Cottage, where Flora Timms was born, was swept away
long ago several of the places she described in Lark Rise can still be
identified - the End House; Queenie’s Cottage; the former Fox Inn (Wagon and
Horses); the School; the Farm (in Fordlow); the Rectory; Cottisford House where
Squire Rousby (Mr Bracewell) lived; and St Mary’s Church. All of these
buildings are now private dwellings except, of course, for the small church.
