Judy Brook lived in East Meon, the daughter of Geoff Brook who ran The Country Store, on the High Street. Judy was an accomplished author and illustrator of children’s books, notably the adventures of Tim Mouse. She used East Meon, and the countryside around, as the backdrop for the animals’ adventures and in doing so created a record of the village in the 1970s.
