  • Heritage at Droxford Church
    Case Study Heritage at Droxford Church Background Droxford, a village in Hampshire, sits on the western slopes of the Meon Valley within the South Downs National Park. In Droxford and the surrounding area there is enormous interest in local history which has been stimulated by the local “Saxons in the Meon Valley” programme and the significant war time anniversaries in 2014. www.saxonsinthemeonvalley.org.uk The project Famous visitors to Droxford include The working group successfully fundraised £250,000 for the first phase of the Izaak Walton, author of “The project which was to make structural repairs to the tower, east walls of the north Compleat Angler” first published in and south chapels and the south slope of the nave rood. 1653, who is known to have stayed in the Rectory and Manor House in Once this critical structural work was carried out, the team was able to focus on Droxford when visiting his daughter building the community annex for which a further £250,000 had to be raised and who was married to the rector; and was anchored by a grant of £75,000 from Hampshire County Council’ Winston Churchill who used the long closed Droxford station as his base Community Business Funds.

  • 44. Alresford's Post
    THE STORY OF ALRESFORD'S POST - AFTER 1800 By Reg Sanders The first part of this story (in Alresford Displayed 1985) ended with the entry in Post Office Minutes of the appointment of a "Post Officer" at Alresford, in 1784, and a further Minute in 1802 reporting his imminent retirement. The 1801 census shows him lodged at 25 Broad Street, now "The Old Post Office". Miss Mary Russell Mitford in "Our Village", writing in the early 1800's, describes the roads at that time as "the abyss of pulverised gravel which had the impudence to call itself a hard road . if you meet a carriage coming along the bottomless middle of the road, what a sandy whirlwind it was ... vanishing into its own dust". It was the new "Macadamised" roads, and Telford's bridges that made possible a fast Mail Coach service in a century of innovation and great change. In May 1785 the Hampshire Chronicle had reported on "Mr. Palmer's excellent plan of conveying the mails" and added "the inhabitants of Winchester and the neighbouring towns should convene meetings to apply for an extension of this Mail Coach plan to Winchester and Southampton". Only seven years later the 'Universal British Directory 1 could report "The Mail coach from London passes through ALRESFORD every morning between three and four o'clock on its journey to PCOLE, from which place it arrives every night about eleven o'clock at ALRESFORD on its way to the Bell & Crown Inn at Holborn". It added "The Post Office (at Alresford) opens at eight every morning and shuts at nine o'clock at night"! It also reported two regular daily coaches to London and three "waggoners" each week.
