East Meon - High Street and Izaak Walton PH
East Meon is a very attractive village in Hampshire. This view is along part of the flint wall bordering the High Street to the northern side. Behind the small tree the blue parasols belong to the Izaak Walton pub which is the white building in the centre of the image. Good beer and sensibly priced good pub food.
There are two pubs in the village, the other being Ye Olde George Inn, which apparently is also very good though I haven't yet visited it.

Sign for the Izaak Walton, East Meon
Izaak Walton (1593-1683). Born on August 9th 1593 at St Mary, near Stafford, little is known of Walton's childhood or education. Apprenticed at an early age to an ironmonger in London, he eventually went into trade on his own account with a shop in Fleet Street and in 1618 became a Freeman of the Ironmongers' Company.
The work for which Walton is best known, The Compleat Angler, or the contemplative man's recreation first appeared in 1653, but he continued to revise and add to it until 1676. The book has been criticized on technicalities by knowledgeable fishermen, but while Walton fished as a leisure pursuit, he cheerfully acknowledged that he knew nothing about fly-fishing.
When he retired, he made his home for some years with George Morley, the Bishop of Winchester and it was there he died at the age of 90.
