Headley Parish Archives

• Maps, documents and other physical artefacts are held in a walk-in cupboard in the upper room of Headley Parish Council Offices, at the side of Headley Village Hall — see Location of Aquisitions within the cupboard.

• Note that much textual information is held on the Headley Historical website, and we advise that you use this as your first port of call.

• A certain amount of other computer-based information is held by The Headley Society and can be released on reasonable request
  – generally this is more detailed information where only a summary has been placed on the website (eg. censuses). Occasionally it relates to information of a more personal or sensitive nature which we feel should not yet be on the website.

• We have some information on microfiches, which are not held in the Parish Office as there is no viewer there. Most has been transcribed to computer and a large proportion of this is already on the website. It is also available to view at either the Hampshire Record Office or the Surrey History Centre. If you do need to view microfiches in Headley it will be necessary to arrange a personal appointment.

• Items of interest to Headley which are not held in the archives.

Pamphlets of Major JRB Branson, B.A., LL.B (1872–1952) – (held in Box 8?)

James RB Branson was born in India on November 9th, 1872. He graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking an Honours Degree in Classics; and later an Honorary Degree in Law. He was also a keen rower.

From records in Headley [Mr Laverty's notebooks], we note that his mother lived at Wishanger Lodge and died in 1923. James bought Headley Mill Farm 1915. We are told [by Sue Allden] that in 1920 he was just along the road at Lower House Farm, Lindford – but he still used Headley Mill Farm as the address on his pamphlets published in the 1940s.

Local memories of him [by Sue Allden]: He used to eat meat, but then said to Wakeford the butcher, 'No more steak from you', and became vegetarian. Used to cycle everywhere, even up to London.

He was a local Councillor, being successively chairman of both Headley and Whitehill Parish Councils, and was known as a local benefactor. He gave the ground and money for Lindford Working Men's Club, which opened in August 1927. He says in the introduction to 'Grass for All' that he left Headley for London in 1936. He died in 1952. Branson Road in Bordon is named after him. Richard Branson, the present-day entrepreneur, is his great nephew.

We have in the Archives eleven of the following small pamphlets (the ones with titles shown in BOLD) written and published by James Branson in the period 1939–1950.

Our thanks to Dave Schmauch of New York, who found these pamphlets and passed them on to us.
