  • BITTERNE AFTER the ROMANS. DOMESDAY Book Is Usually
    148 : HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB BITTERNE AFTER THE ROMANS. By O. G. S". CRAWFORD, B.A., F.S.A. OMESDAY Book is usually regarded as a measure of antiquity, conferring the hall-mark of authentic age upon such places D as are there mentioned. Bitterne is not mentioned by this name in Domesday, but the history of the manor can be traced back to before Domesday. In the year 1045 King "Edward the Confessor gave land at Stanham to the monastery of St. Peter and Paul at Winchester, that is to say, to the Cathedral. The bounds of this land are given ; their identification is not at all easy, but one thing is quite certain, namely, that they include a portion- of South Stoneham ; for an earlier grant of land (in 932).to-the new Minster at Winchester can be identified by the bounds with part of North Stoneham. We must therefore exclude all the land included in that earlier grant from the present one (of 1045). We may also exclude all manors known to exist at the time of Domesday, for it is highly improbable that any such would be included in the grant of a manor made only 41 years previously. That cuts out the manors of Allington, Woolston, Shirley and Chilworth. Unfor- tunately the exact extent of these manors is unknown, but the possible extent of the Stoneham grant is to some extent defined. The bounds begin at Swaythlihg well, which must have been somewhere near Swaythling. The " old Itchen " and the " new river " (niwan ea) are then mentioned, and then, after a number of unidentifiable bound-marks (loam-pits, Wadda's stoc, white stone) we come to " wic hythe." This last must mean the hithe or quay of the old Saxon town of Southampton, whose alternative names were Homwic and Horn- or Ham-tun.

    South Stoneham South Stoneham Bishops Stoneham 1.0 PARISH South Stoneham 2.0 HUNDRED Mainsbridge 3.0 NGR 443990 115420 (parish church) 4.0 GEOLOGY Valley Gravel; Alluvium in Itchen Valley. Much of the former parish is Bracklesham Beds with pockets of Plateau Gravel. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) 5.1 The parish is now divided between West End CP, Hedge End CP, Southampton St Nicholas and Eastleigh. The church and manor house site is within the bounds of Southampton but much of the former South Stoneham parish is in Eastleigh District including the tithing of Eastleigh itself. It is therefore very relevant to this survey area. 5.2 South Stoneham House is at c. 8m AOD and the Church of St Mary, 100m to the south-east, just a little lower. Both stand above two large ponds that can probably be equated with the two fisheries mentioned in the Domesday survey (paragraph 14.1). These are fed by The Monks Brook (east) and the Itchen Navigation passes just to the south (c. 4m AOD). South Stoneham House is now a part of the Southampton University campus which includes an adjoining tower block and accommodation units. To the east and west are C20 housing estates. Areas of woodland are still intact (south-east) and the fisheries, part of the Monks Brook and the banks of the Itchen Navigation provide public open space. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 and 5) Church and manor house 6.1 South Stoneham House was built 1705, probably on the traditional site of the manor house.
