  • 101 Report to Planning Committee Date 11 August 2016 by Director Of
    Agenda Item 10 Report PC39/16 Report to Planning Committee Date 11 August 2016 By Director of Planning Local Authority Winchester City Council Application Number SDNP/16/02757/FUL Applicant Mr Armstrong Application Demolition of part of Vernon House, new road and 5 new detached houses comprising 4 no.3 bedroom and 1 no.5 bedroom dwelling. Address Vernon House, Warnford Road, Corhampton, SO32 3ND. Recommendation: That planning permission be refused for the reasons set out in Paragraph 10.1 of this report. Executive Summary The application site is located in the village of Corhampton in the Meon Valley. It comprises an area the large rear garden land of a dwelling known as Vernon House and adjacent land to the south. It covers 0.27ha. Vernon House fronts onto Warnford Road (the A32), which runs through the village. It is in a residential area where there are dwellings to the east, west and south, whilst there is a haulage yard known as Houghtons Yard immediately to the north. An appeal has recently been allowed at Houghtons Yard for it to be redeveloped for 8 dwellings (Appendix 2). The application proposes 5 dwellings. All of them would be two storey detached properties and would range from 2 to 4 bedrooms. They would have a traditional character and appearance. They would be accessed via a new shared private drive alongside Vernon House. This would involve widening the existing driveway by demolishing part of Vernon House, which would result in this dwelling becoming a 2 bedroom property. Concerns from local residents and the Parish Council include impact upon surrounding amenities, drainage, and pedestrian access.

  • Corhampton Churvch History
    History of Corhampton Church Early history and background The church is remarkable in having no known dedication. It has just been Corhampton Church as far as we know for the whole of its long life. There is a reference to Quedementune in the Domesday Book, but there is no mention of the church and this is strange, for not only is it unquestionably Saxon, but it is a wonderful example of a small village pre-Conquest church that has remained almost unaltered from the time that it was built, and which is one of the most important Saxon churches in Southern England. So what is the origin of the name? In mediaeval days it is said to have borne the name Cornhamptone. However, about two hundred years ago it seems that the people of Corhampton called it Carmenton, which properly should be Carmeonton (‘ton’ is Saxon for an enclosure and ‘car’ means fortress but is of WeIsh derivation). Certainly the church is built on a mound but whether this was ever fortified must be questionable. Writing in Volume II of Hampshire Notes and Queries published in 1884, A V Walters, B.A, suggests that Carmeonton "would indicate a town on the Meon at the Carrs". Carr means an association of trees and shrubs developing at edges of swamps or fens, and there has always been a mill at Corhampton (to the north of the church). A thousand years ago the River Meon was both navigable and much wider, so this latter interpretation makes sense. The church looks as if it was built on an artificial mound.

  • A Place-Name Survey Introduction
    © Kelly Kilpatrick 2014. This research is made freely available and may be used without permission, provided that acknowledgement is made of the author, title and web-address. Saxons in the Meon Valley: A Place-Name Survey Dr Kelly A. Kilpatrick Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham Introduction The Meon Valley in southern Hampshire is defined by the River Meon, a chalk river, which rises at the village of East Meon and flows to the Solent at Titchfield Haven. The Meon Valley area contains the parishes of East and West Meon, Warnford, Exton, Corhampton, Meonstoke, Droxford, Soberton, Wickham and Fareham (for Titchfield); also associated with this region are the parishes of Shedfield, Swanmore, Privett, Froxfield, Steep, Langrish and East and West Tisted. Place-names preserve information about topographic, linguistic and cultural conditions at the time of their formation, and therefore are a useful resource for investigating the past. The toponymic survey presented below is intended to compliment the ‘Story of the Saxons in the Meon Valley’ project, and to provide a general synopsis of the region’s Anglo-Saxon history through place- name evidence. This survey covers the geographical scope of the field-work carried out in the project. Firstly, an introduction to the Jutes of southern Hampshire is presented, followed by a discussion of the Meon River and the Meonware. The following toponymic survey adheres to the structure of the English Place-Name Society county survey volumes. The place-names are organised hierarchically by hundreds, then parishes. Major settlements are discussed first in each parish, followed by minor names of etymological interest arranged alphabetically.
