50P September 2020 Issue No. 241 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p September 2020 Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott September 2020 Dear Friends, As I write we have September within our sights. This is what William Wordsworth wrote two hundred and five years ago: SEPTEMBER 1815 While not a leaf seems faded; while the fields, with ripening harvest prodigally fair, in brightest sunshine bask; This nipping air, sent from some distant clime where Winter wields His icy scimitar, a foretaste yields of bitter change, and bids the flowers beware; And whispers to the silent birds, 'Prepare against the threatening foe your trustiest shields’. For me, who under kindlier laws belong to Nature's tuneful quire, this rustling dry Through leaves yet green, and yon crystalline sky , announce a season potent to renew, 'Mid frost and snow, the instinctive joys of song, and nobler cares than listless summer knew’. When I found this poem, it reminded me of what we all face in September; that month of new beginnings, the end of the summer and in particular this year, a month clouded with uncertainties. Winter with ‘its icy scimitar’ will come with a nip in the air from the Arctic perhaps. But this we know about. What is more hidden, more invidious, are things we don’t have any warning signs of, like an unexpected heart attack, stroke or accident, before it hits us. As we try to get our heads around the uncertainties of the future, that crippling emotion “fear” can fill our hearts. Covid 19 has made and continues to make us fearful. How often do we say: ‘I am afraid?’ (or ‘I am worried’ which may mean the same thing). Not just for ourselves but also for our loved ones, friends and neighbours. These fears can cover a lack of job, an unpaid mortgage payment, sickness, even a death, and much more. Dare I suggest that fear grips us more than we are prepared to say? So, I wonder, what are 'our trustiest shields to prepare against the threatening foe’ ? In the last 6 weeks we have been looking at Matthew’s gospel in our Benefice Zoom services. In many of the stories, those around Jesus were afraid. Afraid of what they could not understand: walking on the water, a miracle healing and Jesus’ love for a foreigner (an enemy of the people). In nearly every case they were told one of three things: to believe, to trust or to come to him. These are invitations for those who believe – to take a step of faith, to reach out to the one who was and is and will be - always and everywhere. But the truth is everyone needs some sort of weapon which we can use against rational or irrational fears. And these could be anything from acts of kindness and generosity, to care and concern, from a personal stance in self-isolating to offering of support and encouragement. For all of us in these dark days we have the opportunity to give love in whatever form to disturb the fears and send them running. How many of you learnt that wonderful hymn at Primary School: ‘When a Knight won his spurs’? I will leave you with the last verse: Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed ‘gainst the dragons of anger and the ogres of greed, And let me set free with the sword of my youth from the castle of darkness the power of the truth. God bless, keep safe and thank you for all you are doing.

    NAME Wherwell PARISH Wherwell HUNDRED Wherwell DISTRICT Test Valley NGR SU 389408 GEOLOGY Upper chalk and alluvium SITE CONTEXT The village lies on the NW bank of the River Test, mainly on the lower slopes of the steep valley side but with some houses actually on the flood plain alongside the river. The 50m contour runs through the settlement almost along the line of the SW-NE road. To the NW the valley side rises sharply to over 90m OD. PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION Composite. Regular rows and irregular row. Within the plan of Wherwell several blocks of regular rows are obvious. On the SE side of the river alongside the lane that leads to the church there is a block of three plots of equal size with a thinner and shorter plot along the river bank. On the N side of the lane there are two units with shorter tofts, the E unit appearing to be later than the W unit as it overlaps the W unit along the rear boundary. On the NW side of the river and on the N side of the lane to the church there are the remains of another regular row, the rear boundary of which curves round to continue as the rear boundary of some of the plots along the main street through the village. Opposite the junction of Church Street and the main road on the NW side of the road there in another regular row which appears to have had some of its plots amalgamated. The rear boundary continues either side of the row but bounds empty, open fields except for a very small plot in the N field.

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.
