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.

  • The Distribution of the Romano-British Population in The
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 119 THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROMANO - BRITISH POPULATION IN THE BASINGSTOKE AREA. By SHIMON APPLEBAUM, BXITT., D.PHIL. HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.

  • Basingstoke Inns, Breweries and Public Houses 1600 - 2015
    BASINGSTOKE INNS, BREWERIES AND PUBLIC HOUSES 1600 - 2015 Basingstoke Inns 1600 – 1850 Basingstoke was an important trading centre and staging post from medieval times until the 19th century. Its position on the junction of the Great Western Road between London and the West Country and the roads from Portsmouth and Southampton to the North, meant that it needed several great inns to cater for the travellers, traders and customers who came to the town. The inns of Basingstoke provided overnight accommodation for those who were journeying over long distances, hospitality for those who came from afar to trade in cloth, and refreshment for the farmers and others who visited the weekly markets. There were many more ale houses which were smaller and probably served a more local clientele In 1622 a record of the amount of malt that was brewed in Basingstoke listed five inns - the Angel, the Bell, the Chequers, the George and the Maidenhead - and 15 alehouses that were brewing beer.1 In 1636, the Bell, Maidenhead and George were recorded in a London publication.2 The landlord of the Bell was John Crosse who died in 1625 in which year the Bell had seven main bedrooms, along with four other rooms which had beds in them, including the servants’ chamber. His goods included 43 oz of silver plate as well as pewter weighing 234 lb.3 In 1631, Thomas Miles, tapster of the Bell, paid a shilling to sit in the Tapster’s Seat in the Gallery of St Michael’s Church.4 The Bell was where the marquis of Winchester was kept after his defeat at the siege of Basing House before being moved to the Tower of London.

Unlike my mother’s brooch, if it were for sale, there will be many buyers willing to pay large amounts for these items.

  • Clare, Clere, and Clères
    Clare, Clere, and Clères Keith Briggs The name of Clare in Suffolk is one of the few major settlement names in East Anglia of unknown etymology. A similar mystery surrounds the Hampshire names Kingsclere, Highclere, and Burghclere, all containing the element clere which must have a single origin. Clères is a village north of Rouen in Normandy. There is a remarkable lack of variation in the early spellings of all these names, which are most often Clara, Clera, or Clere. The purpose of this article is to examine the hypothesis that these three place-names are identical in origin, and to discuss what that origin might be. To do this it is necessary to look at the history of each place, and of the noble families associated with them. The known facts about Clare before the Conquest are meagre (Martin 1997; Thornton 1928a, b, 1963). An earthwork on the north side of the town (TL 769458) is possibly of Iron-Age date, but might also be a purely Saxon- period thegn’s burh. Archaeological investigation in the 1990s found only remains of medieval farm buildings. If the site of Clare had a strategic importance before the Normans, it must have been because of its location at the junction of the Chilton Stream with the Stour. The Stour forms the border of Essex, and this may reflect an ancient tribal boundary. The east–west road from Haverhill through Clare to Cavendish is probably Roman (Margary 1967: road 34a). In the mid-11th century Clare belonged to Ælfric son of Wihtgar (DB) who founded a church of St John the Baptist and installed a college of seven secular canons.
