As the darker nights draw in, we are pleased to publish some oil sketches of Broadhalfpenny Down and The Bat & Ball from local amateur artist Kris Newton.
His childhood was spent in neighbouring Denmead, before living with his family in Hambledon for almost 30 years. Kris loves to combine his (alphabetical order) passions of beer, cricket, and painting, all in the Hambledon valley.


We also love paintings that Jack Russell has done for us in the past, including two below which featured the 250th Anniversary Match at Broadhalfpenny Down.


Fantastic painting. Really captures the motion. Love it!
