  • You Don't Have to Be Ex-Service to Join…
    Barely a day goes by that doesn’t You don’t have to coincide with the anniversary of a conflict that cost the lives of British and be ex-Service to Commonwealth Servicemen and women. The momentous struggles of 1914-1918 and those of 1939-1945 join…. helped shape Britain, and define who and what we are today. The fact that the countries of Western Europe now coexist in peace and relative harmony with little prospect of future armed conflict within our borders is testament to the huge sacrifices made by past generations. British forces continue to serve in harm’s way to protect our freedom and prosperity worldwide. The Royal British Legion (RBL) aims to ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten, and that members of the British armed forces, veterans and their families receive the support and care they need. The Droxford & District Branch predates the formation of the British Legion as ‘The Droxford Branch of the Comrades of the Great War’. This year marks the centenary of our first meeting held on 26th March 1920 at the White Horse Hotel. We now meet four times a year, usually at Droxford Village Hall, with a speaker on a range of interesting subjects. A curry supper delivered from the White Horse is available for those who have booked. There’s also an annual general meeting, an annual dinner, a summer drinks party, a Grand National draw and a pub-style quiz night. Apart from selling poppies in support of the annual appeal, we are not otherwise actively engaged in RBL fundraising activity.

  • 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.
