    Here is a comprehensive account encomassing everything the reader might wish to know about Redmarley, "and then some..." It opens with a description of the village immediately familiar to the visitor of the present day, until the following paragraph:

    "The whole parish is a mixed agricultural area and there are many fine farms on the outskirts, still undisturbed by the rush of modern times or the new by-pass road now being built across the northern end..."
    In fact the account is reproduced from an original written about 1950, and that 'new' by-pass is rather better established now! The M50 was one of the UK's earliest motorways - according to The Motorway Archive [link broken Dec 2015 it was built around 1958, and as the account says, across the northern end of Redmarley.
