JEANS, MA, F.SA Vicar of Shorwell and Rector of Mottiston, Isle of Wight Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford Author and Editor of " Murray's Handbooks for Lincolnshire, Hampshire " and the Isle of Wight With many Illustrations X " 7 LONDON Bemrose and Sons Limited, 4 Snow Hill, E.C. AND DERBY 1906 [All Rights Reserved} TO THE MOST NOBLE The Duke of Wellington, k.g. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY HIS GRACE'S KIND PERMISSION PREFACE may claim in a certain sense to be HAMPSHIREthe premier county of England, since though not quite so ancient a kingdom as Kent or Sussex, it " is, as Grant Allen calls it, the real original nucleus of the British Empire." It is also one of the most interesting of the counties, from the importance in early English history of its charming capital, the architectural value of its Cathedral and three of its other churches, its beautiful combinations of woodland and sea, its possession of more genuine forest than all the rest of England put together, and its chief place in the naval position of England, owing to the two great harbours afforded by its fortunate coast-line. To an editor of Memorials of Old Hampshire the first difficulty, therefore, is clearly of selection. It would not be difficult to imagine another volume of the present size made up only of those subjects that—for one reason or another—I have been obliged to pass over. In order, therefore, to obtain more room for the less familiar antiquities of the county, I decided first to exclude the Isle of Wight, because that is a distinct entity, and have a volume of its own and, may possibly hereafter ; vii viii PREFACE secondly, after much consideration, to omit separate treatment of Winchester, that having been done in Dean Kitchin's charming volume on the city (in the Historic Towns Series'), and of detailed architectural history of the Cathedral Church, that being already accessible in numerous forms. That these have neither been ignored nor slighted will at once be obvious on reference to the Index, but the famous city is treated mainly as the head and representative of its county, and the Cathedral Church mainly as having influenced the architecture of the parish churches. Again, a very obvious danger for the editor of a volume of this kind is that of allowing the information " " to become snippety and disconnected, and thereby to lose half its value. In order to guard against this, I selected the list of subjects finally, so that they might present the history of the county as a whole with no very important breaks, but specially emphasise only the most characteristic features. Thus in my introductory sketch I have endeavoured to show the part played by Winchester throughout, and the place that would be taken by the subsequent papers on Silchester, the Jutish Settle- ment, the New Forest, Southampton, and Portsmouth. My paper on Hampshire Churches as a whole is followed by papers of more detail on the existing monastic churches of Christchurch and Romsey and the ruined Abbeys of Beaulieu and Netley, besides a special and exhaustive examination of the wall-paintings in the churches. Then comes a group of the semi-religious PREFACE ix buildings : the palace of Wolvesey, the Hospital of St. Cross, Wykeham's famous College, and the traces left by the Knights of St. John at North Baddesley. These are naturally followed by the noblest of Hampshire houses—one of the most glorious in England—Bramshill, and this again by the places connected with the Civil War—Basing, Place House, and Hurst Castle. The story of Old Hampshire may, I hope, be thought to wind up fitly with the story of the unique Hambledon Cricket Club. I had intended to include a separate paper on the Earthworks and Camps in the County (see p. 3), and asked the late Mr. T. W. Shore, whose knowledge of the subject was unequalled, to contribute it. He, with his usual kindness, would probably have consented, but he died before he could answer my letter. His son, Dr. Lewis Shore, most kindly sent me a very complete catalogue of them found among his father's papers, but it could not be used in a book of this kind without complete re-writing. It is to be published, I believe, in the Papers of the Hampshire Field Club. There has been far more labour expended upon these papers than those who are unused to such work would " " imagine. The one on wall-paintings must be of per- manent value as an exhaustive record at the present date. The long papers on the New Forest and Southampton— not to make an invidious selection—have involved a good deal of original research. The subject of Silchester might have been thought exhausted by the excavators, but x PREFACE Mr. Heald's researches at the British Museum have unearthed a few more points, notably about the history of Commius. I must express my obligations to all of the very able company of writers who have been kind enough to join me in this work, and particularly to Mr. Ditchfield, the General Editor of the series. I must take the oppor- tunity, too, of thanking Mrs. Rawnsley for her charming sketch of the New Forest—it was mislaid at the time of publication of her own volume on the Forest, or we should not have had it to Mr. for the ; Keyser, photographs of which were taken for his Bramley, expressly paper ; and to Mr. Nisbett for the use of his splendid collection of photographs from Hampshire churches, and for many valuable notes upon them. I cannot imagine anybody connected with Hampshire who would not find this book full of interest from cover to cover. G. E. Jeans. Shorwell Vicarage, I.W., February, 1906.

  • Hampshire and the Company of White Paper Makers
    HAMPSHIRE AND THE COMPANY OF WHITE PAPER MAKERS By J. H. THOMAS, B.A. HAMPSHIRE has long been associated with the manufacturing of writing materials, parchment being made at Andover, in the north of the county, as early as the 13th century.1 Not until some four centuries later, however, did Hampshire embark upon the making of paper, with Sir Thomas Neale (1565-1620/1) financing the construction of the one-vat mill at Warnford, in the Meon Valley, about the year 1618. As far as natural requirements were concerned, Hampshire was well-endowed for the making of paper. Clear, swift chalk-based streams ensured a steady supply of water, for use both as motive power and in the actual process of production. Rags, old ropes and sails provided the raw materials for conversion into paper, while labour was to be found in the predominantly rural population. The amount of capital required varied depend­ ing on the size of the mill concerned, and whether it was a conversion of existing plant, as happened at Bramshott during the years 1640-90, or whether the mill was an entirely new construction as was the case at Warnford and, so far as is known, the case with Frog Mill at nearby Curdridge. Nevertheless Hampshire, like other paper-making counties, was subject to certain restraining factors. A very harsh winter, freezing the water supply, would lead to a cut-back in production. A shortage of materials and the occurrence of Holy days would have a similar result, so that in 1700 contemporaries reckoned on an average working year of roughly 200 days.2 Serious outbreaks of plague would also hamper production, the paper-makers of Suffolk falling on hard times for this reason in 1638.3 Though Hampshire had only one paper mill in 1620, she possessed a total of ten by 1700,4 and with one exception all were engaged in the making of brown paper.

Moeller June 2005 Additional copies of the HISTORIC PROFILE OF HAMPTON BAYS: Phase I May be obtained through Squires Press POB 995 Hampton Bays, NY 11946 $25 All profits to benefit: The Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Society HISTORIC PROFILE OF HAMPTON BAYS INTRODUCTION: The Town of Southampton has sponsored this survey of his- toric resources to complement existing and forthcoming planning initiatives for the Hamlet of Hampton Bays. A Hampton Bays Montauk Highway Corridor (Hamlet Centers) Study is anticipated to commence in the near future. A review of Hampton Bays history and an inventory of hamlet heritage resources is considered a necessary component in order to help insure orderly and coordinated development within the Hamlet of Hampton Bays in a manner that respects community character. Hampton Bays United, a consortium of community organizations, spearheaded the initiative to complete a historical profile for Hampton Bays and a survey of hamlet heritage re- sources. The 2000 Hampton Bays Hamlet Center Strategy Plan adopted as an update to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan was limited to an area from the railroad bridge tres- tle on Montauk Highway near West Tiana Road (westerly border) to the Montauk Highway railroad bridge near Bittersweet Avenue (easterly border.) Shortly, the De- partment of Land Management will be preparing a “Hampton Bays Montauk High- way Corridor Land Use/Transportation Strategy Study” which will span the entire length of Montauk Highway from Jones Road to the Shinnecock Canal.

    Appeal Decision Hearing held on 9 October 2013 Site visit made on 9 October 2013 by Jacqueline Wilkinson Reg. Architect IHBC an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 7 November 2013 Appeal Ref: APP/Y3940/E/13/2196123 Baydon Manor, Marridge Hill, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 2HG • The appeal is made under section 20 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 against a refusal to grant listed building consent. • The appeal is made by Mr and Mrs P Stibbard against the decision of Wiltshire Council. • The application Ref E/2011/1572/LBC, dated 16 November 2011, was refused by notice dated 11 October 2012. • The works proposed are the demolition of the Winter Garden. Procedural matters 1. The appellant states that the proposal would be partial demolition, as the smaller attached vine house to the south would be retained. I have had regard to the list description and the relative volumes of the part to be demolished and the part to be retained as indicated on the application form. As only small ancillary and pre­existing structures would remain, the proposal would amount to total demolition of the principal building. I have therefore assessed this appeal on that basis and amended the description of the works. 2. For the purposes of Section 16 of the above Act, I have taken the whole heritage asset into account i.e. the grade II listed Manor House and its curtilage buildings, including the separately grade II listed Winter Garden. Decision 3. The appeal is dismissed.
