A bus will draw up infrequently; there's a pub with or without a bench outside according to season and habit; the church won't be far off, though the railway station will; on Guy Fawkes night there will be a bonfire, such a bonfire as to light up young faces and make the parliamentary candidate pause. It's a village green like any other.Yet that is not all. Within a stone's throw lie two thousand men heaped under green mounds; for on Cheriton Down, in 1644, was fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War.In the neighbourhood also is Tichborne House, famous for a number of things but most for that Claimant who, with all the weight of his twenty tis and an Australian accent, pressed his suit as a long-1 , ost son. He almost succeeded in displacing fact by fable; as did also, later in the century, that heavily whiskered confusion between the Fifth Duke of Portland and Mr. Druce of Baker Street. For the more orthodox pilgrim Gilbert White's Selborne and Jane Austen's Alton are not too remote.But already it's time to go back and catch that infrequent bus.
