Old Basing Cottages: A Snapshot of History in Hampshire, England This photograph, taken in the 1930s, depicts a woman from the quaint village of Old Basing in Hampshire, England, as she fills her bucket from the village well. The image transports us back in time, evoking a sense of tranquility and simplicity. Old Basing, with its picturesque thatched cottages, has a rich history that dates back to the 16th century. In 1645, the village was the scene of significant historical events when Oliver Cromwell's men stormed and captured nearby Basing House during the English Civil War. Basing House, a grand Elizabethan mansion, was one of the largest private houses in England at the time. It was a stronghold for the Royalists, and its capture by Cromwell's New Model Army marked a turning point in the war. The image of the woman at the well, however, offers a stark contrast to the chaos and violence of the war. The topiary hedges in the background add to the charm of the scene, their neatly trimmed shapes a testament to the village's dedication to maintaining its traditional character. The woman's simple act of drawing water from the well is a reminder of the daily routines and simple pleasures that would have been a part of life in Old Basing during this period. The presence of the pump suggests that the well had been updated with modern technology, offering a glimpse into the gradual progress and evolution of the village over time. This photograph, taken over eight centuries after the construction of the first cottages in Old Basing, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and character of this charming Hampshire village.
