The committee has met over the past year and one-half and a large part of the data was obtained from the abstracts of the town records which were kept by Augustus Leavitt, Harry S. Kelley's history notes written in 1927 for the 200th anniversary and from the only sizable printed history of Chichester written by D. T. Brown in Hurd's History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties containing thirty seven pages. In researching we found that a whole generation is missing. It is regrettable that a history wasn't done before now when much that is now lost was within the mem- ory of some living who had the knowledge of our early history. Our thanks to the townspeople who have contributed either information, pic- tures, maps and written reports. It is our hope that the contents will be interesting and helpful to this and future generations. The Chichester History Committee Rev. H. Franklin Parker June E. Hatch Ruth E. Hammen 5 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHICHESTER Chichester was one of seven towns granted in New Hampshire in 1727 while Lieutenant Governor John Wentworth administered the affairs of the province, then a part of Massachusetts. It was one of several places in the state named in honor of Thomas Pelham HolIes, Duke of Newcastle and Earl of Chichester, one of the most influential English politicians of the mid 18th century. As Secretary of State during the years following 1724, he assumed charge of the colonial policy and had much to do with relations between the American colonies and England. The Earl's title was taken from the ancient town of Chichester in County Sussex, Eng- land, built on the site of a Roman camp - or castra in Latin, which evolved into English as "Chester". In 895 A.D. it became the capital of the Saxon king, Chissa, Chichester being a combination of the two names. The granting of Chichester, New Hampshire, and the other towns chartered by Lieutenant Governor Wentworth was the result of the outgrowth of several Massa- chusetts towns whose section, or "parishes" asked for additional land to be popu- lated by new settlers, most of them adjacent to land already settled. Chichester be. came a new town because of this movement. Among those receiving Chichester grants were the Gilmans of Exeter, Peter, Nicholas, and Capt. John; William Pepperell Jr.; Capt. Thomas Westbrook; Capt. Paul Gerrish and many others who had participated in the English wars against the French in Canada. The original charter of Chichester served as a pattern for future charters for the undivided portions of New Hampshire providing for the planting and cultivation of land, the building of dwelling houses, roads, and a schoolhouse and church, with a time limit of three to five years. The charge to the settlers was one ear of corn per grantee per year.l THE TOWN OF CHICHESTER On May 20, in the year 1727, John Wentworth, Lieutenant Governor under the Crown of the Province of New Hampshire granted to Nathaniel Gookin (Googins) and others an area covering sixty-four square miles in the interior of New Hamp- shire. The name appearing on the document was Chichester. The Governor anxious to have this section settled also issued charters at about the same time to Barnstead, Bow, Canterbury, Epsom and Gilmanton. In accor- dance with the following document the proprietors set out to fulfill their pledges and thus began the long series of events which were to pave the way for the found. ing of the town. 1 N.H.

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe- camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.

Yet as a result of social and economic change it faces competition from neighbouring destinations like Chichester, Petersfield, Haselmere and Guildford. Chichester District Council recognised this problem and through a series of projects (aimed at supporting the local economy), engaged with the community to help identify key areas of development and regeneration. Whilst residents may have strong emotional links to their town or village, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and reveal the innate qualities and character of a place to attract visitors and compete with other towns in their region. However, it may be difficult to express what defines a ‘place’, but it is important to do so, to ensure that any support given by way of physical improvement or economic development, is appropriate and does not lead to the loss of individuality and regional identity. Understanding that Midhurst’s future prosperity is dependent on finding a way to manage change whilst maintaining a genuine and authentic sense of place, it became clear that a process was required to capture and articulate these unique aspects to help develop plans for the future.

The subject of this paper* affects an object of high monu- mental art in the county of Hants, hitherto left undescribed by the local historian, although attention was called to it on. the occasion of a visit to Titchfield by the members of the Hampshire Field Club (May 24th, 1888), when Mr. Shore gave an admirable account of. the' Wriothesley family, their territorial possessions in this county, and their last resting place-. Lord 'Bacon, in his work " On the Advancement of Learning,." when referring to the Study, of. Antiquities, or Remnants of History, includes "Monuments as saving and recovering spmewhat from the Deluge of Time," and the late John Gough Nichols observes that memoranda •of.Epitaphs and Heraldry in churches' have always been :; highly estimated by genealogists and biographers, the pro- . fessional heralds deeming such evidences among their most _ reliable materials. With regard to the sepulchral monument of the Wriothesley family in Titchfield church, it is a remarkable and interesting fact that, in Midhurst church, Sussex, Sir Anthony Browne, first Viscount "Montague, erected an alabaster tomb for . himself and his two wives, which was a replica of that at Titchfield, in style, dimensions, and materials of construction. •- * Read at a meeting of the Southampton Literary and Philosophical Society, October 15th, 1888, 66 - "The wife of Henry, second Earl of Southampton1 the founder of the Wriothesley monument, was eldest daughter of this Viscount Montague and mother of Henry, third Earl.

Kidd Cotton Mather’s calendar had just rolled over to January 1, 1723, and with the turn he wrote his friend Robert Wodrow of Scotland concerning frightening though unsurprising news: “The Indians of the East, under the Fascinations of a French Priest, and Instigations of our French Neighbours, have begun a New War upon us…”1 Though they had enjoyed a respite from actual war since the Peace of Utrecht postponed hostilities between the French and British in 1713, New Englanders always knew that it was only a matter of time before the aggressive interests, uncertain borders, and conflicting visions of the religious contest between them and the French Canadians would lead to more bloodshed.
