Hampshire Antiquary Naturalist 51 VOL LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE . " - ; THE HAMPSHIRE ANTIQUARY AND NATURALIST: BEING THE LOCAL NOTES AND QUERIES, REPORTS OF MEETINGS OF THE HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB, & OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY MATTERS REPRINTED FROM "THE HAMPSHIRE INDEPENDENT." VOLUME I, SOUTHAMPTON : F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE. LONDON : ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER Row, E.G. 1891. PRINTED BY F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE, SOUTHAMPTON. PREFACE. In response to a frequently expressed desire that the Local Notes and Queries and other articles on Hampshire antiquities appearing in The Hampshire Independent should be reprinted in a more convenient form for permanent reference than is afforded by the columns of a weekly newspaper, which too few think worthy of preservation, this little book has been prepared as an instalment, to be followed by others if warranted by sufficient support being enlisted. It has often too been suggested that there should be some permanent record of the meetings of the Hampshire Field Club. This Club is doing much by its periodical visits to various parts of the county to make known many interesting features in out of the way corners, and to elicit an interest in local antiquities, which has already borne fruit in increased study and better preservation. The only full and regularly published reports of these meetings are those of The Hampshire Independent, and the republication of these will doubtless be welcomed by many besides members of the Club. Some perhaps may also value the republication of the weekly weather tables of the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, and the monthly weather reports contributed by Mr. T. Westlake, of Fordingbridge, and for naturalists generally there are articles on the zoology, botany and geology of the county. the contributors be named the Rev. W. F.S.A. Rev. Among may Benham, ; J. Silvester F.S.A. the late Charles Davies, M.A., ; Roach Smith, F.S.A. ; Mr. T. W. F.C.S. Mr. C. C.C. &c. Shore, F.G.S., ; W. J. Moens, ; In the arrangement it has been found convenient to follow the order of publica- tion of the issues in which the various articles appeared. The value of the book will be much enhanced by a very full index of several thousand references. CONTENTS. ARCH/EOLOGY, HISTORY, FOLK-LORE, &c. PAGE PAGE . i Athelstan's Villa at Twyford .

It sets out the special historic and architectural interest that makes the character and appearance of Smisby worthy of protection. It also assesses the degree of damage to that special interest and thus opportunities for future enhancement. This document will be used by the Council when making professional judgements on the merits of development applications. The Ticknall Conservation Area was jointly designated by South Derbyshire District Council and Derbyshire Councty Council on 17th November 1972 and extended by the District Council on 24th November 1983. Summary Ticknall sits in a sheltered valley south of the River Trent on the busy A514 between Derby and Swadlincote. It is strategically placed on the district’s road network, with several roads radiating from the village and heading towards Repton, Swadlincote, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Melbourne. Ticknall Conservation Area Character Statement Although often identified as an estate village, it was only between 1765 and the 1830s that the Harpur (later Crewe and Harpur Crewe) family of Calke Abbey finally bought out most Lullington Conservation Area Character Statement of the lesser freeholders, it being a well-established settlement long before then (first recorded in 1002).

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • OARISBROOKE, I.W. I55
    HANTS FIELD CLUB AND AROH/EOLOOICAL 80CIETY. OARISBROOKE, I.W. i55 CARISBROOKE CHURCH AND PRIORY. BY DR. J. GROVES. The picturesqueness and scenic beauty of Carisbrooke—due in large measure to the denudation of the chalk, which commenced long before the separation of this area from the mainland—contribute far less to render it the glory of the Isle of Wight than do its historic associations and remains. These probably constitute the chief attraction of the place to the educated visitors who come to it in increasing numbers year by year, not only from every part of Great Britain and Ireland, but also from the continent of Europe and other quarters of the earth. The responsibility of all who are inhabitants of the Isle of Wight, and more particularly of those who reside in the parish of Carisbrooke is very great, since they are the custodians and trustees of these historic monuments for the whole of the civilised world. The Carisbrooke of mediaeval times is gone forever and its traces cannot be recovered. Imagination must be left to picture the metropolis of the Isle of Wight in those days with its market and its fair, its bullring, its maypole and its timbered houses standing on the slopes of the valley in the depths of which the silvery chalk stream meandered, with its mills and mill-ponds, and, on the heights, the wooded hills crowned, to the south by the noble castle and, to the north, by the stately church and priory. All that can be done is to see that no further loss is incurred.

    Continuing Our Quest to Discover Mary I’s Connections to Winchester and Beyond Intro: Hello and welcome to Hampshire HistBites. Join us as we delve into the past and go on a journey to discover some of the county's best and occasionally unknown history. We'll be speaking to experts and enthusiasts and asking them to reveal some of our hidden heritage, as well as share with you a few fascinating untold tales. Welcome back to a new episode of Hampshire HistBites. In this week’s episode, Johanna Strong delves deeper into the story of Queen Mary I and her links with Hampshire. But before we start, I just need to give a content warning. Content warning: This episode contains a sensitive topic that some people may find uncomfortable. It concerns phantom pregnancies. If you wish to avoid this 4-minute section, please skip between 11 minutes 15 seconds and 15 minutes 18 seconds. Johanna: Chances are if you’re listening to this podcast, you have some interest in royalty. Or at least Hampshire’s role in historical royalty. Or maybe you’re here to learn more about Hampshire in general! Whatever the reason, I do hope you learn something new about Wolvesey Castle, Hampton Court Palace, or Mary I and are inspired to visit either – or both! – of these sites once it’s safe to do so. Now, as they say, on with the show! One thing that hasn’t changed much from the time of the Tudors to today’s royal family is how often they move house.

See Principles on main webpage. River, villages, views, prehistoric site, Saxon churches, pubs In Brief This is a great Hampshire walk showing the best of the county in two different aspects. One is the sweeping high landscape with distant views culminating at Old Winchester Hill Fort. The other aspect is the gentle chalk stream of the River Meon as it meanders through some delightful villages with remarkable churches and memorable inns. This walk was inspired by one from the book of Adventurous Walks . There is a wealth of choice for refreshment in the villages near the end and also in Soberton not far from the start. Note that the only pub in Hambledon may be closed, as it was in July 2012. For information, call 023 9263 2419. There are few nettles to irritate legs Exton but boots are absolutely essential for this walk, preferably to a good ankle Old Win- length. This is because of one stretch chester Hill on the South Downs Way down from Meonstoke the Hill where there is always some mud.

    TECHNICAL NOTE i-Transport LLP Grove House Project No: ITB 7205 Lutyens Close Chineham Court Project Title: Pylands Lane, Bursledon and North East Boorley Green Basingstoke Hampshire Title: Transport Assessment Addendum RG24 8AG Technical Note 2 – Pylands Lane – Access by Sustainable Tel: 01256 338640 Fax: 01256 338644 Modes www.i-transport.co.uk Ref: MG /ITB 7205 -015 TN 2 Date: 7 December 2012 1 Introduction 1.1 This document should be read in conjunction with the transport assessment (report reference ITB7205-009B) and provides a response to the comments by Hampshire County Council on access by sustainable modes to the Pylands Lane site. 2 Walking and Cycling Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road – Pedestrian / Cycle Improvements 2.1 Following the opening of the Sunday’s Hill bypass there will be a significant decrease in traffic on Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road (Sunday’s Hill) between the bypass junction and the Heath House Lane junction. In addition the presence of a new roundabout at the Dodwell Lane / Pylands Lane / bypass junction will assist in slowing speeds on Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road (Sunday’s Hill). This alone will provide a significant benefit to pedestrians and cyclists along this route. 2.2 There is a footway on at least one side of the road along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road. The reduced traffic volumes and speeds will make on-street cycling along this section of road acceptable. 2.3 Notwithstanding this it is considered that there is the scope for further improvements to pedestrian and cycle provision along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road.
