C R A N B U R Y P A R K The Home of Sir Isaac Newton Unfortunately the house is not open so its magnificent interior cannot be seen, which is a shame, as Pevsner describes it as an 'unforgettable experience' to behold the hall, with its coffered tunnel-vaults to the full height of the house and the beautiful ballroom. The house is built in a very red brick with stone dressings. The entrance is through a porte-cochere either side of which are large columned windows with roundels in relief above each and above the porch. Balustrades surmounted by urns run around the parapet, framing the whole house to give a very pleasing prospect within the landscape. The house we see today was built in 1780 for Lady Dance-Holland the wife of Sir Nathaniel Dance-Holland the painter and the brother of George Dance who is believed to be its architect. Cranbury Park, before this time has an interesting history as the home of Sir Isaac Newton, England's great philosopher, during his latter years, until his death in 1727. One of his former pupils, Jonathan Conduitt, married Sir Isaac's half-niece and adopted daughter Catherine Barton in 1717. On his death the property was bought by Mr Lee Dummer and it was a Dummer who purchased medieval masonry from Netley Abbey for his collection of historic monuments. Today in the grounds can be seen these fragments which he had re-erected in the 1760s, some being incorporated into a picturesque tower with the others forming a wall of arches taken from the North transept of the Abbey. The Chamberlaynes came to live at Cranbury Park around 1800 and are still in residence. The pleasure grounds were laid out in 1815 and are thought to be by Papworth. The sundial in the garden displays the Conduitt coat of arms and was calculated by Sir Isaac Newton himself © History of Cranbury Park, Hampshire by Michael Ford .

Otterbourne Parish Plan
1.0 Purpose of the Document The purpose of the document is to provide the Countryside Agency, Hampshire County Council and Winchester City Council with a perspective on how the residents of Otterbourne wish to see local issues that affect their quality of life managed over the period October 2004 to October 2009. It will give Otterbourne Parish Council, once they have formally adopted the Parish Plan, the consensus of the village and should give emphasis to the Parish Council's input to the wider future of the community. 2.0 Introduction The Government introduced a Rural White Paper - Our Countryside: the future - in November 2000 sponsored by the Countryside Agency, with the aim of encouraging local communities to take a more active role in deciding what is important to them and how each community sees itself developing over the following few years. The aim of a Parish Plan is to allow everyone in the Parish to have a chance to say what they think about the various social, economic and environmental issues affecting their community and how they would like to see it improved for the future. The proposal to prepare a Parish Plan was presented to the village at a meeting in July 2002, supported by the Countryside Agency and Winchester City Council. The meeting concluded with a request for volunteers to assist in the project. In September 2002, Otterbourne Parish Council notified the Countryside Agency of its intent to commence with the preparation of a Parish Plan. In March 2003 the inaugural meeting of the Otterbourne Parish Plan and Village Design Statement project team took place, by which time 40 volunteers had come forward to offer their assistance in a variety of roles from Project Leader to "Foot Soldiers" who were prepared to distribute letters and collect surveys.

John Keble's Parishes a History of Hursley and Otterbourne
John Keble's Parishes: A History Of Hursley And Otterbourne By Charlotte M. Yonge John Keble's Parishes: A History Of Hursley And Otterbourne CHAPTER I - MERDON AND OTTERBOURNE The South Downs of England descend at about eight miles from the sea into beds of clay, diversified by gravel and sand, and with an upper deposit of peaty, boggy soil, all having been brought down by the rivers of which the Itchen and the Test remain. On the western side of the Itchen, exactly at the border where the chalk gives way to the other deposits, lies the ground of which this memoir attempts to speak. It is uneven ground, varied by undulations, with gravelly hills, rising above valleys filled with clay, and both alike favourable to the growth of woods. Fossils of belemnite, cockles (cardium), and lamp-shells (terebratula) have been found in the chalk, and numerous echini, with the pentagon star on their base, are picked up in the gravels and called by the country people Shepherds’ Crowns - or even fossil toads. Large boulder stones are also scattered about the country, exercising the minds of some observers, who saw in certain of them Druidical altars, with channels for the flow of the blood, while others discerned in these same grooves the scraping of the ice that brought them down in the Glacial age. But we must pass the time when the zoophytes were at work on our chalk, when the lamp-shells rode at anchor on shallow waves, when the cockles sat “at their doors in a rainbow frill,” and the belemnites spread their cuttlefish arms to the sea, and darkened the water for their enemies with their store of ink.

(2018), No. 10 1 Seeing the Light: Being The
Seeing the Light: Being the story of Sir Isaac Newton’s prisms and papers and the means by which they came to New College ‘In the sun’s light let into my darkened chamber through a small round hole … in my window-shutter … I placed a lens … then immediately behind the lens I placed a prism … by which the projected light might be refracted either upwards or sidewise …’ Opticks (1704), Prop. IV, Prob. I, Exper. II Prologue It is one of the most famous images held in the antiquarian collections of New College Library, known around the world and reproduced in countless books and articles—the diagram hand-drawn by Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) illustrating his experiments into optics and the refraction of white light into the colours of the spectrum when channelled through a prism. It is such a well-known picture that seeing the original sketch (for that, essentially, is what it is), as opposed to a reproduction, can have a profound effect on people—this author, for example, has witnessed at least one school science teacher reduced to tears in its presence! The drawing is contained within the second of four bound volumes of Newton’s papers (New College MS 361/1- 361/4). Amongst these papers are to be found drafts of his writings on theology and historical/biblical chronology, including A short chronicle from the first memory of things in Europe to the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great (datable to 1701-2 and later), along with drafts and notes for The original of monarchies (1701-2 and later).

Old Netley: Bracklesham Beds. Netley Abbey: Bracklesham Beds & Plateau Gravel (Valley Gravel). 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) 5.1 Hound is on reasonably flat terrain at about 21m AOD and is almost equidistant from Southampton Water (south) and the River Hamble (east). The principal road through the settlement connects the B3397 to the late C19 / C20 development at Netley which is approximately 0.5km distant. This through road has been realigned during the late C20. Immediately west of the enlarged churchyard is a small area of common land that is now managed as a wildlife reserve. C20 housing estates occupy land to the west and north-west of Hound Common. 5.2 Netley Abbey is a monastic site on the shoreline of Southampton Water. The Abbey stands at c. 19m AOD but the land rises gradually north-eastwards and inland. In the early C19 Netley Abbey was an isolated spot but it is now accompanied by high density housing to the east and south-east. Larger properties can be found to the north and west. 5.3 Old Netley is set out along a stretch of winding lane (Grange Road) that leads south- westwards to Netley Abbey, c. 2km distant. The centre of the settlement is 36.4m AOD and at this point it is cut by the A 3025 to Southampton.

OV5 Iustory of R
OV5 iUSTORY OF r StettetyA, & 'Ditfnict Aocal Society PREFACE This paper has been written with the intention of setting down basic facts in the history of Eastleigh as they are known, and of drawing attention to the vast amount of detail still needing to be discovered and recorded. The very name of Eastleigh has its history and, together with all the other place-names in our modem Borough, a long one, with variations in spelling, popularity and expanse of land indicated by the name. Research already carried out by members of the Eastleigh and District Local History Society has been published in a series of Occasional and Special Papers. Reference to these and other publications is made in the text so that more detailed information may be obtained when needed. The reader is encouraged to set himself in the right mood by making sure that he knows the history of his own patch. Who built the house? Why was it so designed? What materials were used and where did they come from? Why was the road so named? What is the nature of the garden soil and how was it composed? Find out the answers to these and other questions and, above all, remember that today’s events are tomorrow’s history. This may inspire you to seek further information or advice and, possibly, to meet others with similar aims. Local History Societies exist for this purpose; they welcome visitors and new members. The Eastleigh and District Local History Society meets on the fourth Thursday of the month, the Botley and Curdridge Society on the last Friday of the month, and the West End Society on the first Wednesday of the month, except in July and August when outside visits are usually organised.

Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont
Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont D. W. Hayton Introduction John Perceval (1683–1748), fourth baronet, of Burton Hall, near Kanturk in County Cork, created first Baron Perceval (in 1715), first Viscount Perceval (1723) and first Earl of Egmont (1733) in the Irish peerage, sat in the British House of Commons for the government borough of Harwich in the parliament of 1727–34, and left to posterity a diary containing accounts of debates in the Commons which constitute the best source for parliamentary proceedings during the period of Sir Robert Walpole’s prime ministership.1 This was published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission in three volumes between 1905 and 1909, as appendices to its sixteenth report.2 Elsewhere in Perceval’s large personal archive in the British Library other examples survive of the diarist’s craft and some of these have been published: in 1962 Robert McPherson edited the ‘journal’ compiled by Perceval from notes, minutes and papers while he was a trustee of the Georgia Society in the 1730s;3 in 1969 Aubrey Newman printed fragments from 1749–51 and 1760, illustrating the politics of the ‘Leicester House’ faction, with which Perceval was involved;4 in 1982 the present author published excerpts relating to Irish parliamentary proceedings in 1711 and 1713 from a ‘journal of public affairs’ kept by Perceval between 1711 and 1718;5 and in 1989 Mark Wenger edited Perceval’s diary of his travels in 1701 as a young man through the eastern and northern counties of England.6 Occasional references in the Historical Manuscripts Commission volumes indicate that Perceval had compiled other accounts of events – specifically of parliamentary debates – and forwarded them in correspondence.
