Itchen Abbas Itchen Abbas Trail : HAMPTR0037 Activity : Walk Type : Pub Terrain : Towpaths and Cycle Tracks Author : Anne-Marie Edwards Distance : 3.3 miles / 5.3 kms Ascent : 72 feet / 22 metres Location : SU536329 / SO21 1BQ River Itchen Thatched Cottages, Easton River Itchen East of Chilland © Colin Smith © Pierre Terre © Pierre Terre Trail Summary From its source near Hinton Ampner, the river Itchen flows west towards Winchester, creating one of the loveliest of Hampshire's many river valleys. The clear water divides into several streams as it meanders through fertile watermeadows which have attracted settlers from earliest times. So as you walk through the valley today you discover villages with clusters of thatched, half-timbered houses and churches where people have worshipped for over 900 years. This walk follows the river to explore three delightful villages and enjoy the wildlife which flourishes in these peaceful surroundings. Besides the fish for which the river is famous it is home for a wealth of waterbirds including swans, wild ducks, coots and moorhens. Trail Details 1. Leave the front of the Trout Inn on your right, cross the road and turn down the lane ahead, signed 'To the Church'. The church, on your right, was rebuilt in Victorian times but original 11th century stonework can be seen in the porch and chancel arch. 2. Just before the churchyard gate, turn right to leave the church on your left. Walk up a grassy path then follow the narrow path through a small wooden gate to continue over a meadow which slopes down to the river on your left. Go through a gate to cross a drive then through another gate opening to meadows. If you look downhill you will see a small copse close to the river. A plaque states that this was the site of a cottage owned by Viscount Grey of Falloden, Liberal Foreign Copyright © 2009 Walk & Cycle Britain Limited Page 1 of 5 www.walkandcycle.co.uk Itchen Abbas Secretary from 1905 to 1916. He found the cottage 'a lovely refuge'. Beside the plaque we found a wreath of flowers in memory of his friend, the naturalist and author W.H.Hudson, who recorded happy hours spent in the cottage in his book Hampshire Days. 3. Go through a gate and follow the path as it runs closer to the river, continues beside the hedged gardens of Chilland House and becomes gravelled. Descend steps to a lane. 4. Turn left for a few yards then turn right, following the footpath sign. A clearly signed path leads through gates and over meadows to a lane opposite Martyr Worthy church. Turn left down the lane then continue along the footpath ahead to cross the long footbridge over the river. This is a place to linger. The river flows wide and free between banks of flowers and rushes, shadowed by willows and alders full of birdsong. Keep to the narrow footpath which winds on over a smaller bridge and through a gate. 5. Cross the meadow ahead, aiming for a large thatched house. Just before the house turn right to leave the house on your left then go through a gate on your left and follow a gravel track to a lane. 6. Turn left and follow the grass-bordered lane for about 1/3 mile to a footpath sign on the left. Follow the sign left along a track which recrosses the Itchen to a gravel track which passes Chilland Mill (notice the old iron hitching ring on the wall) to the foot of Chilland Lane. Walk up the lane to meet the steps on the right leading to our earlier path at point 4. Turn right to retrace your route to Itchen Abbas and the Trout Inn. The Trout Inn We start a stone's throw from the river in Itchen Abbas. A former coaching inn on the route between London and Winchester, the Trout has preserved the atmosphere of a traditional family inn catering for everyone. You will find a spacious and comfortable bar area where you can enjoy a meal or snack, a non-smoking dining room and a special room for walkers, complete with maps. As you would expect, the inn has a fishing theme, with rods, nets and haversacks much in evidence. The walls also feature paintings by local artists for sale at very reasonable prices. The Trout is well known for its traditional Hampshire recipes such as gammon in sherry sauce and pheasant pie in a rich red wine sauce. Several real ales are available (changing from time to time), the cider is Strongbow and there is an extensive wine list. Opening times are from 11 am to 3 pm and 6 pm to 11 pm with normal opening hours on Sunday. Meals are served from 12 noon to 2.30 pm and 6 pm to 10 pm. Dogs on leads and children are welcome. But, the landlord insists, he will admit only well-behaved grannies! Outside there is a pleasant garden and a children's play area. Overnight accommodation is offered and day fishing and golf can be arranged nearby. Telephone: 01962 779537.

  • Hampshire Recusants in the Time of Elizabeth I, with Special Reference to Winchester
    Proceedings of The Hampshire Field Club VOL. XXI, PART II 1959 Hampshire Recusants in the time of Elizabeth I, with special reference to Winchester by JOHN E. PAUL RECUSANT is literally one who refuses. In a special historical sense recusants were those Roman Catholics who refused to attend the service of Common Prayer A in the Church of England, and this was the meaning attached to the term by the Government and the Catholic authorities. Such attendance at Common Prayer was com­ pulsory under the Act of Uniformity of 1559 (1 Eliz. C.2). If a person refused he was liable under that Act to the ' censures of the Church' and also to a fine of twelvepence for every offence. In 1581 under The Act to retain the Queen's Majesty's subjects in their due obedience (23 Eliz. C.l) this fine was increased to the crippling sum of £20 a month, equivalent, perhaps, to something well over £500 today. ' Church-Papists ' were those persons, Catholic at heart, who outwardly conformed by attending the Established service as a formal measure, interpreting such attendance as an act of civil obedience owed to the Crown. Many went to Common Prayer, which was a legal requirement, but shrank from receiving Communion, which was not. (It was, however, an ecclesiastical obligation, and an offender could be excommunicated, suffering any penalties which might arise from such excommunication.) Some, through fear, received Communion. In the second half of Elizabeth's reign outward conformity was practised, ostensibly to escape the severe financial penalties under both the recusancy Act of 1581 and that of 1586-7, to which complete abstention from the services made persons liable.

    Southampton, Totton and Waterside Group Walks Programme and Newsletter 1st November 2015 – 29th February 2016 Website – http://southamptonramblers.org.uk Contact – [email protected] We offer friendly welcoming company on our guided walks. Our walks cater for all abilities and range from shorter walks on Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and summer evenings to all-day Sundays walks. Post Codes - Start and meeting points include nearest postcode and an Ordnance Survey grid reference accurate to 100m. Use postcodes with care: in rural areas the nearest postcode may be some distance from the actual start point. Walk Grades Leisurely - walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. May include unsurfaced rural paths. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are recommended. Moderate - walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. Walk gradings are provided as a general guide only. If you have any doubt about your fitness for a particular walk please contact the organiser or leader in advance. Bear in mind the distance of the walk, regional differences in terrain and the possibility of bad weather, which can make a walk more difficult than planned. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first - it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit.
