"Old Times at Otterbourne" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a nostalgic look back at the village of Otterbourne, exploring its past in the context of significant changes brought about by modern developments such as the railroad, as well as the church and local customs. It captures the essence of everyday life and the community’s gradual evolution over time. The narrative
is steeped in rich details, mapping the historical lineage of Otterbourne, from Roman times through the medieval period, and into the 19th century. Yonge recounts vivid anecdotes about local customs, notable figures, and various events that shaped village life, preserving the memories of past generations. The text includes observations about the community's social customs, the significance of the church, and the impact of economic changes and infrastructural developments.
