Withdrawing from London to Hampshire countryside, Heywood bought some land at South Gorley, on the edge of the New Forest, here he proceeded to convert a tumbled down cottage the Cuckoo Hill into his idesl house. 5 yrs later it was finished. It exercised such a fascination over him that he embarkd upon a remarkable private record of it all, handwritten and lavishly illustrated with his own superb watercolours. Cockoo Hill became a sidelong look at is life and times, a personal journal yet also a guide, a book of history, customs, topography and nature.It is an entrancing picture of a now vanished world.
