In 1922 Jessie Challacombe, wife of the then Rector of St Peter’s, recorded in her “Jottings” all she could gather of the history, landmarks and traditions of the already expanding village of Farnborough. The monks of Saint Michael’s Abbey have produced this new edition of her work in the hope that what remains of old Farnborough should be better known and appreciated, and that what has gone should not be forgotten.
