Medd House In 1952 the Rees family moved into Four Gables which had been the home of the Medd family for some years. They renamed the property Medd House in memory of brothers Peter and Richard Medd who were both killed in WW2.

Wonersh Park In 1674, Richard Gwynne rebuilt a farmhouse at the side of the village green opposite the Church. The house had various owners and grew steadily grander over the years. In 1765 Fletcher Norton, the 1st Baron Grantley of Markenfield came to Wonersh and enlarged the estate. By 1884 the Grantleys had left Wonersh and the estate was sold to John and Mary Sudbury. In 1914 Mary Sudbury sold Wonersh Park to Robert Haslam on the condition that she could continue to live there for the rest of her life. When she died in 1926 no buyer was found and the house was eventually demolished in 1929.

The Old House Built about 1600. An early resident of The Old House was George Brett a shoemaker, Verger (from 1910) and Churchwarden (from 1916). From 1924 to 1996 Claudia Parsons, engineer, traveller and author lived here.

The Pepper Pot was built in October 1928 by architect Robert Haslam who at that time owned Wonersh Park but lived in Mill House. There is local belief that the oak beams used may have come from the demolished mansion and the tiles from the ice house but there is no proof of this.

Wonersh Pond The pond is shown on maps dated 1871 and 1897. A 1949 Women’s Institute scrapbook suggests the pond was drained around 1906 when mains drainage was brought to the village.

Lawnsmead 23 houses and a reading room built at a cost of £3404 in 1872 by Edwin Ellis, owner of Summersbury Tannery for his workers. Considered very desirable although no running water or toilets. One stand pipe and night soil kept in recess for collection.

Tankards We believe George Cox had his shop here followed from 1895 to 1915 by Albert Coleman, shopkeeper and beer retailer. In the 1919 trade directory he was replaced by Thomas Jendon who was listed until 1927. The shop had one more owner before being converted to a private house around 1935.

Green Place Dated architecturally to 14th century and home to the Elyot family until early 16th century. Fell into disuse by late 17th century, habitable again by early 18th. It is widely believed that E Shepherd used the staircase at Green Place as the model for his drawing in A A Milne’s ‘Halfway Down’ poem in his book ‘When We Were Very Young’.

Ashlands Built about 1827. See Miscellanea/Reminiscences of an Old House.
