    Northington Northington 1.0 PARISH Northington, now includes Swarraton (Map 1) 2.0 HUNDRED Micheldever 3.0 NGR 456430 137360 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) The Candover, a tributary stream enters the river Itchen from the north, just 1km west of New Alresford. This stream has attracted a number of settlements, one of which is Northington. The C19 parish church of St John the Evangelist stands at 100m AOD and the rest of this settlement spreads east downwards from here to the stream at 80m AOD. Wthin 200m south of the church is the northern bound of Grange Park, a feature that occupies almost a quarter of the parish. The Modern settlement of Swarraton, on the east side of the Candover, is now a part of an enlarged Northington. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 and 5) Deserted medieval settlement 6.1 The present settlement of Northington comprises C19 and C20 houses that are arranged in a regular row (east / west) along the south side of Northington Hill Lane. These buildings give little indication of the medieval layout of the settlement. Beresford and Hurst (1971: 188) have classified Northington as a Deserted Medievaal Settlement and there are a number of archaeological features that support this hypothesis. HTS (1: 213) identifies the site of the medieval settlement as being south of the Modern settlement at 456600 137200, where two fixed banks and the line of an old road can be seen. Earthworks have also been noted on the north side of Northington Hill (see paragraph 11.0, nos 1 and 2).

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").
