Picture gallery.

I’m gradually filling this page with pictures of Hasketon. The modern photographs are all by myself, but since there are many people in the village who are far better behind the lens than me, I’d love the opportunity to include pictures from other contributors! They’ll get full credit for their work, and… well that’s all really!

Old Photographs.

Beating the parish bounds in 1888. Probably the earliest picture of Hasketon, taken by local photographer Edward Fosdike. This event is covered in much more detail on the ‘Hasketon Boundary‘ page.
This is some 'Alt text' for the 1904 picture.
Hasketon in a photo-postcard postmarked 1904. Note there’s no Victory Hall or Tymmes Place, and the Schoolhouse is smaller.
Hasketon mill area taken from the Grundisburgh road, possibly 1908. (Copyright unknown).
Horseman Robert Chandler photographed in 1912 when he was living in either Kennel Cottages or Home Farm Cottages.

Paintings and other artwork.

Thomas Churchyard (1798 – 1865) was a Woodbridge based solicitor and very gifted landscape painter. He produced a large number of oil and watercolour pictures of the area.

Watercolour by Thomas Churchyard (1798-1865). Obviously painted from the fields above Church Farm, but note the two windmils, and the school hasn’t been built at this time. (Copyright unknown).

Watercolour (3.75″x4.75″) by Thomas Churchyard, inscribed, ‘At Hasketon’.
Probably painted at the top of hill in Blacksmiths Road, with the corner of the house currently called ‘Cherry Trees’ just visible on the left. Note the surface of the road is now a little lower and the school house has not yet been built.

This picture is part of the authors collection.

At the time of writing Cherry Trees has been uninhabited for over a decade and sadly the owners have applied for permission for its demolition. This would be a shame if approved, since the building is included in the 1838 tithe map and thus another part of the village will be changed forever.
Drawing of Hasketon Church published in the Ipswich Evening Star 29th March 1894. This is before the Lynch Gate was added in about 1914. The building behind the church has the wrong orientation to be the current schoolhouse, which was built in 1871, so the drawing must date from earlier than this.
