  • St. James' Church, Ashmansworth
    ST. JAMES’ CHURCH, ASHMANSWORTH This little church on the Hampshire Downs at the north end of the Winchester Diocese has an intriguing history reaching back into the 10th century. It also has a singular charm as its small white, weatherboard bell tower is sighted above the high banks and hedges of the lane that winds down towards the Bourne Valley. Sadly, the old bells no longer ring out over the scattered village - because they must be re-hung before they can even be chimed. (It has, up to now, seemed unlikely that adequate funds will ever be available for full circle ringing). Indeed, this situation is a part of the dilemma facing this small parish, a dilemma created, strangely enough, by a generous bequest from one of its parishioners, Miss Annie Taylor. This bequest led the Parochial Church Council to call in experts to advise on what might be done to restore and make safe the bell tower, to preserve and improve the remains of the wall paintings as well as to repair the effects of sheer age on the church as a whole; which has inevitably taken place despite the devoted attention of church wardens and parishioners over the years. It needs little imagination to recognise that this survey revealed a call for restoration work with costs far exceeding the value of this bequest. The earliest extant reference to Ashmansworth is found in the Charter of King Athelstan the Victorious (925-940) and it is certain that a Saxon church stood on this site of the present building which itself belongs mainly to the 12th century and at that time was mentioned in the general confirmation of his manors by Edward I.

For reporting crime, call 101 or go to the Hampshire police website www.hampshire.police.uk. Community Priorities The current neighbourhood priority is Burglary. A residential property in Cannon Heath, Overton, was broken into during daylight hours and jewellery was stolen. An electric bike was stolen from a garage in Ecchinswell. Some facts about burglaries (sources in brackets). Most burglaries take place between 10am and 3pm. (Safestyle UK) The average burglary lasts for eight minutes. (Dr Claire Nee, Unviersity of Portsmouth) Many burglaries are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions by a burglar who notices an open door, open window, valuables on display or some other weakness. (Thames Valley Police) The vast majority of burglars will want to avoid meeting the home’s occupants at any cost. (The Independent) A burglar may typically examine many houses before finding one that looks like an easy one to steal from. Homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Good window locks and strong deadlocks can make a big difference. In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in.

  • 171 Prehistoric Races and Their .Remains in the Old
    171 PREHISTORIC RACES AND THEIR .REMAINS IN THE OLD CLERE i COUNTRY OF HAMPSHIRE. BY T. W. SHORE, F.G.S. ' The country in the north of Hampshire which is known now as the Clere district, comprises the three parishes of Kings- clere, Burghclere, and Highclere. Two circumstances however show that the district known by this name Clere, was formerly more extensive. The name denotes a clearing or an open space, and the natural features of the chalk downs extending from the comparatively low ground near Basingstoke, to the high ground at Combe Hill or Inkpen Beacon, show that there must naturally always have existed over this area open or clear spaces, where the chalk lies close to the surface, and no trees can grow. The area of the Tertiary clays and loams which exist north of the chalk area, and like it extend from the south- east towards the north-west, was that which was formerly covered by the great forest of North Hampshire. North of Basingstoke, this was known as Pamber forest, near Kings- clere as the forest of Wytingley or Freemantle, and further westward another woodland area was known as the forest of Chute. Clearings were made here and there in this forest area in-the early Saxon period, and probably in the time of the Romans. Existing place names also point to the former larger extent of what was known as the Clere area, or forest clearings. Near Basingstoke is a small place now called Cliddesden, but which was named Cleresden at the time of the Norman Survey.

AND DERBY 1906 [All Rights Reserved} TO THE MOST NOBLE The Duke of Wellington, k.g. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY HIS GRACE'S KIND PERMISSION PREFACE may claim in a certain sense to be HAMPSHIREthe premier county of England, since though not quite so ancient a kingdom as Kent or Sussex, it " is, as Grant Allen calls it, the real original nucleus of the British Empire." It is also one of the most interesting of the counties, from the importance in early English history of its charming capital, the architectural value of its Cathedral and three of its other churches, its beautiful combinations of woodland and sea, its possession of more genuine forest than all the rest of England put together, and its chief place in the naval position of England, owing to the two great harbours afforded by its fortunate coast-line. To an editor of Memorials of Old Hampshire the first difficulty, therefore, is clearly of selection. It would not be difficult to imagine another volume of the present size made up only of those subjects that—for one reason or another—I have been obliged to pass over.
