I've just recently been corresponding with a relative about our ancestors. I googled Froyle which is where my ancestors came from. What an awesome site you have. I am a descendant from the Croucher Family - George Croucher who immigrated to Canada in 1870 because of the economy. He wrote his autobiography about living in Froyle and his life in Canada.
This is what I have about him.
George Croucher Birth Place: Froyle Hants Engl
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1854
Father Name: Samuel Croucher
Mother Name: Sophia Croucher
I hope to have some time to go through your records more thoroughly. Thank you again for posting these.

My great grandfather Thomas Thompson(1830-1901) was Minister at Froyle Methodist church in 1880. He was on the Alton circuit and the Census in 1881 records him and his family as living at 32 High Street, Alton, Hampshire. He was a leadminer in Weardale, Durham until the age of 25 when he was ordained as a Methodist minister and served in parishes along the south coast from Hayle in Cornwall to Brighton in Sussex. He was also in Atherstone, Leicestershire(1861), Helmsley in Yorkshire(1873), Bridgend, South Wales(1891) and retired from Ashburton, Devon in 1900 to Willesden in North London where he died on his way back from a preaching appointment in May 1901.

just been looking at the photos of the hop picking and I remember there used to be hops in the field at Upper Froyle which could be seen when walking up the hill from the Hen & Chicken.

Just to add to my earlier post my father John White taught at Lord Mayor Trelor college, where as a very young child I learnt to swim. My siblings went to school locally and all I can remember was Mr. Baggy (as I called him because I couldn't say his name) used to drive them all to school. He always made me laugh. The village has always held a very special place in my heart. The site is great thank you so much.

Thanks for all the information and pictures. My family lived in Froyle House in the 1960's and I have many fond memories of life there from sitting pixie like on the stone mushrooms along the drive to launching my shoes on the Lily pond. I also loved rolling down the hill by the veranda and was a general pest to any of the animals that lived there from the Majors dog to the marmalade tomcat who was a long suffering live teddie to me. I have often told people about the house and village now I can refer them to your site to see what I have been talking about all these years.
