Barry Eastman posted on Facebook details of life for his grandparents at Toll Cottage in the early 1900’s.
The house had no inside sanitation so there would have been a ‘sentry box” in the garden and contents would be buried. Light was provided by oil lamps and candles and water was drawn from a well or dipped from the river. The kitchen had a range cooker burning wood to provide heat and for cooking.

Hello Andrew. Congratulations on the launch of your new website. A really professional piece of work. I note on the photo of my father and his mother and his brothers outside of Toll Cottage, their birthplace, that you mention James. The four surviving brothers were Harold, Maurice, Roy and Lionel. All but Lionel were christened in Wherwell Church on the 16th April 1916. Their brother James died aged eight in 1918. Adela Louisa died at birth in Toll Cottage. When Walt Prince of Chilbolton died he left his daughter Joy, a bible with a sketch of their family tree on the inside cover and I used this to start my family tree. We were also related to Fred and Queenie Eastman. Dennis and Joy Dewey (nee Prince gave me the link to Downton and if you Google “The Eastmans of Downton” you will find our relationship to Linda Eastman who married a Beatle and George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak.
