Description

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.

Beautiful writing about his experiences of buying a site, building house and gardens and then getting to know the locality. It's not a book about Gorley; the main title 'Cuckoo Hill' is more accurate. The documentation of the ways of the Commoners and history of the area is a great record to future generations...it is about time the same was done 100 years on.
