Hambledon's story begins in the Stone and Bronze Ages and continues with the Romans, Saxons and Normans until the village became the centre of a Hundred and aspired to the title of market town. The story is illuminated by charters and documents, deeds and wills, and a communal grave in the churchyard tells of disaster. The war memorial speaks of sacrifice while a lonely stone weaves in the black thread of murder. Kings and bishops, Cavaliers and Roundheads, the famous, the infamous and a host of ordinary folk have all played their part.
