Mollie Paul, who had lived in Forge Cottage and later Wearne House for many years, had delighted us all with her performances on the stage for TOADS. Alison Huxley, who had lived in Brook Lodge since the 1970s was a great supporter of the village fair and many other village events. Both ladies had been married to husbands who also gave generously of their time for the village, Air Commodore Christopher Paul and Colonel Colin Huxley Services of Thanksgiving held at St Mary’s Church were very well attended. Tributes were paid to two well-respected ladies who loved Old Alresford and will be greatly missed. Old Alresford Parish Council Annual Parish Assembly This will be on 26 April at 7.00pm.
