A History of Hampshire, Including the Isle of Wight POPULAR COUNTT HISTORIES. HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE, INCLUDING THE ISLE OF WIGHT. BY T. W. SHORE, F.G.S., ETC. LONDON : ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1892. -17 3 1982 16 PREFACE. THE history of every county has been affected to some extent by its natural features, and this is especially the case in respect to that county whose history is sketched in this volume. The County of Southampton or Hamp- shire has been much favoured by nature, and its natural advantages must have commended it to its early inhabitants, whose connection with it are traced in these pages. The surface of the county consists largely of well- wooded plains or valleys, and dry chalk hills which stretch across it in a broad belt, having on the north and south of them two other broad areas of clays, and sandy loams. Hamp- shire is, and always has been, a woodland county, and its forests have been much concerned with its history. Its natural features have had a great influence on the growth of its forests, for oak grows on the clay lands in all parts of the county, while beech flourishes on the loamy soils lying upon the slopes of the chalk hills, and upon similar soils in the north and the south, and those areas which contain more sand than clay can be distinguished by a growth of pines and firs. Much of the land on the chalk vi Preface. hills was formerly old downland, a great part of which was the common pasture-land of the ancient manors until the time of the inclosures, since which time most of it has been broken up and cultivated in large fields, under the modern system of sheep farming. A considerable part of the land in the south of the county rests on a substratum of gravel which keeps the soil dry, and has in modern times assisted in attracting a large residential population. Its landlocked harbours, its double tides in South- ampton Water, an estuary which stretches into the interior of the land, and leads into the long valleys of the Test and the Itchen, and the many eligible sites for occupation, must have invited settlements at as early a period as any part of Britain. The materials for the History of Hampshire are more abundant than those of most English counties, as will be seen in the following pages. No county offers a richer field for the study of prehistoric or medieval archaeology. A peculiarity in its history is the great part it has played in national history, and especially during the Saxon and Norman periods. Its history has not been adequately written. An attempt was made more than twenty years ago to produce a reliable history of this county, and the late Mr. B. B. Woodward collected valuable material for it and began the work but he ; resigned the undertaking. The publishers of the proposed history asked the late Rev. T. C Wilks, to continue Mr. Woodward's work. He did so, and was assisted, in respect to the part relating to the Isle of Wight, by the late Mr. C. Lockhart. Their work was issued in three quarto volumes in 1870 in an incomplete form, for Preface. vii many places in the county of great historical interest are not even mentioned. In the preface he wrote, Mr. Wilks acknowledged its many imperfections. Probably the magnitude of such an undertaking and the cost of its publication has deterred other students from attempting to write a comprehensive history of this county. The materials for its history have greatly increased since the date of the above-mentioned publication, and every year is adding to the bulk of this information. Owing to the increase of historical knowledge, the time for attempting to write the history of such a county as Hampshire, in one comprehensive work, may have passed away. Some valuable contributions to Hampshire history have been published within the last few years, such as the ' History of the Parish of St. Mary Bourne,' by Dr. Joseph Stevens the ' of the Rev. ; and History Basingstoke,' by Dr. Millard and Mr. F. J. Baigent. Two county societies are now engaged in collecting and publishing historical and antiquarian information relating to Hampshire viz., the Hampshire Field Club, which is concerned with Archaeology as well as Natural History, and whose annual papers and proceedings are awakening a interest in the and the great county antiquities ; Hamp- shire Record Society, which is engaged in printing its hitherto unpublished MS. treasures. It is intended by the Record Society to publish the episcopal registers preserved at Winchester, the chartularies and other MS. remains of the abbeys, priories, and other religious houses, some of the MSS. of the ancient municipal corporations, of the old Hampshire Courts, and other valuable historical matter. It is hoped that the large and valuable historical MS. Vlll Preface. collections relating to Hampshire, and especially to its ecclesiastical affairs, made by Mr. F. J. Baigent, of Winchester, may be published under that gentleman's direction. Their publication would be of service to all historical students, and would be welcomed by all who are interested in the history of this county. CONTENTS. CHAPTER PAGE I. PREHISTORIC HAMPSHIRE .....

CHAPTER I. PREHISTORIC HAMPSHIRE. THE earliest inhabitants we can trace in this part of England are those who made rude stone implements by chipping flints into the form of hatchets, spear-heads, and other weapons, and are known as the Palaeolithic people, or men of the Early Stone Age. They have also been named the River Drift men, from the circumstance that these relics are found in beds of gravel, which have been formed by the drifting power of rivers and floods that have washed the gravel down from higher parts of the country. The beds which contain these implements in Hampshire are found capping the sea-cliffs at Barton, Hordle, Stubbington, Hill Head, Lee-on-Solent, along the shores of Southampton Water, and in similar situations, in some instances as high as 100 feet above sea-level, so that the water which deposited the beds of gravel must have flowed at a greater elevation, a circumstance which points to a further exten- sion of the land seawards than occurs at present, the rivers probably flowing down a gentle slope to their outlets, or junction with a larger river further out, where the English Channel now is. Other beds of implement-bearing gravel are found inland, in terraces along the courses of the streams, or those of former rivers. Near Southampton I History of Hampshire. some of these terraces are 100 feet above the present level of the rivers, and examples of the stone implements which have been found in them are to be seen in many of the principal geological museums in England. The gravel- beds on Southampton Common, and at Highfield, about a mile to the eastward, have yielded many fine examples of implements, of various shapes. Similar worked flints have been found in gravel-beds higher up the Itchen, near Winchester and Alresford. They have also been discovered in the terraces along the course of the Test near Romsey, Stockbridge, and St. Mary Bourn. They have been found along the course of the Avon, near Christchurch and Fordingbridge. They have been also met with along the course of the Loddon, and in other parts of the county. Palaeolithic man has left us nothing in Hampshire except his stone implements and weapons. No caves, such as he may have used in Devonshire, have been found in this county, for the chalk and most of the other strata in Hampshire are so soft that caverns could not have been formed in them by natural means as in harder limestones, and, if formed artificially, would not under ordinary circum- stances have lasted long. The remains of some of the animals which lived in this part of the country contemporaneously with Palaeolithic man have, however, been found. The teeth of the early elephants {Elephas antiquus and E. primigenius}, a horn of a reindeer, and another of an ibex, have been obtained from the gravel near Southampton, or found below the peat in the new dock excavation there. Elephant remains have also been found near Winchester, Romsey, and Fresh- water. The Palaeolithic period is so remote from our own, that England at that time must have been very different from what it is now. It was probably connected with the Con- had tinent, or not long been separated from it, otherwise the animals whose remains are found could not have migrated so far. Prehistoric Hampshire. The valleys through which the Hampshire streams now flow were then only in process of formation. These streams have since that time deepened their channels, and rain and local floods have smoothed down the valley slopes. The rivers in the Palaeolithic period all flowed at higher eleva- tions than they do at present, and the whole surface of the country was higher than it is now.

  • Hampshire and the Company of White Paper Makers
    HAMPSHIRE AND THE COMPANY OF WHITE PAPER MAKERS By J. H. THOMAS, B.A. HAMPSHIRE has long been associated with the manufacturing of writing materials, parchment being made at Andover, in the north of the county, as early as the 13th century.1 Not until some four centuries later, however, did Hampshire embark upon the making of paper, with Sir Thomas Neale (1565-1620/1) financing the construction of the one-vat mill at Warnford, in the Meon Valley, about the year 1618. As far as natural requirements were concerned, Hampshire was well-endowed for the making of paper. Clear, swift chalk-based streams ensured a steady supply of water, for use both as motive power and in the actual process of production. Rags, old ropes and sails provided the raw materials for conversion into paper, while labour was to be found in the predominantly rural population. The amount of capital required varied depend­ ing on the size of the mill concerned, and whether it was a conversion of existing plant, as happened at Bramshott during the years 1640-90, or whether the mill was an entirely new construction as was the case at Warnford and, so far as is known, the case with Frog Mill at nearby Curdridge. Nevertheless Hampshire, like other paper-making counties, was subject to certain restraining factors. A very harsh winter, freezing the water supply, would lead to a cut-back in production. A shortage of materials and the occurrence of Holy days would have a similar result, so that in 1700 contemporaries reckoned on an average working year of roughly 200 days.2 Serious outbreaks of plague would also hamper production, the paper-makers of Suffolk falling on hard times for this reason in 1638.3 Though Hampshire had only one paper mill in 1620, she possessed a total of ten by 1700,4 and with one exception all were engaged in the making of brown paper.

  • The English Historical Review
    THE ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW NO. CVIIL—OCTOBER 1912 The Tribal Hidage Downloaded from HE ancient territorial list which Maitland named the T ' Tribal Hidage ' is known in two slightly differing forms, which may for convenience be designated the ' English ' and the ' Latin ', from the circumstance that one form is in English http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ throughout while the other has been partially translated into Latin. The only ' English ' text now known was discovered by Dr. Birch in the Harleian MS. 3271, fo. 0 b, and printed by him in full,1 but the names and figures had been published by Spelnian in 1626 in his Glossarium (s.v. Hide), from what he calls a veterrima scheda (perhaps a loose leaf or gathering) in the possession of Francis Tatum.2 The volume in which Dr. Birch found it is occupied mainly with grammatical treatises, but some miscel- by guest on August 11, 2015 laneous pieces are entered, in several hands, all of much the same period. The ' Tribal Hidage ' fills up what had been a blank page near the beginning.3 In the same or a like writing at the end of the book are chronological notes, ending with the state- ment that it was 6,132 years from the Creation; that Easter would fall on 2 April; that it was a leap year and the fifteenth indiction. These conditions are satisfied by the year 1032. In the ' Hidage ' the numbers are written out at length ; the whole has been corrected by another and perhaps somewhat later hand. Thus hund has been added in Herefinna (twelf hund hyda) and in the final total (twa hund thusend), and some words have been corrected ;4 while to Fcerpinga has been added the marginal note—' Is in Middel Englu Faerpinga'.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.
