  • SOME MEMORIES of HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in About 1930, Annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, Transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998]
    SOME MEMORIES OF HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in about 1930, annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998] Perhaps I may be allowed to generalise before I start along the road I wish to travel. 'Hook': time and, time again has the question cropped up as to the origin of the name. It is a bit obscure but comes, I understand, from the Saxon Hoc meaning a piece of metal bent into a curve for catching, holding and sustaining anything: a snare, a trap, or from the Welsh Hoc meaning a scythe, a curved instrument for cutting grain – a sickle, and in this connection it is generally supposed by authorities that the name originated from the curved highway2. In passing I might say that there are about fourteen 'Hooks' and each one has, or had, a curved road passing through it. Hook itself owes its importance to being situated on this great highway extending from London to the West. During the centuries of the past British, Roman, Saxon, Dane3, Norman and the various European Traders to the great Fairs and Markets have passed on conveyances of their day with their goods and chattels. Kings, Queens, Statesmen, Soldiers and Sailors, all kinds of men, both high and low have passed through our humble hamlet. About a mile from this road, as you all know, are the remains of a castle just across Bartley Heath - generally spoken of as Hook Common. We hardly claim this as part of Hook proper, although it is only in the next parish, and about as close to this Band Hall as it is to Odiham church.

  • Newnham: a History of the Parish and Its Church
    NEWNHAM: A HISTORY OF THE PARISH AND ITS CHURCH SUMMARY Newnham is a long-established community. It dates from well before 1130, which is the earliest written reference. It has some unusual features, for example being built on a ridge away from water. Its church, despite being renovated by the Victorians, yet contains many interesting elements, including a wonderful Norman chancel arch and a carved-in-stone memorial to a priest of the 13th century – comparable to a brass but in this case perhaps unique in Hampshire. Its oldest bell has been ringing over the land since Henry VII was king (1485-1509). It is a charming backwater, aside from the mainstream of headlong 'progress'. A place where the generations have made their contribution and laid their bones – the very essence of rural England. SETTING Newnham, as it exists today, lies on a ridge of high ground above and to the east of the river Lyde. The central feature is The Green enclosed on three sides by a cluster of houses. Here four lanes meet at the crossroads, a fifth leads to the church and a sixth branches away, past the pub. Along these lanes are scattered many dwellings: some very old, others newer. The highest point is the church which stands about 95m or 312 ft above sea level, the Green itself is a little lower. The soil is Plateau Gravel with London Clay preponderating in the surrounding area as it falls away in each direction; immediately along the Lyde the soil is Alluvium (1). The geology to some extent explains the location of the settlement: the plateau gravel lies above a 'saucer' of clay so that rainfall percolates through to the impermeable clay where it is retained; when a well is sunk through the gravel, water is found fairly close to the surface.

    Biodiversity Action Plan for Hart 2018 – 2023 Contents Introduction………………………………………,,,,,,………………… 3 Purpose of this Action plan………………………………..…………… 4 Biodiversity Achievements 2012-17……………………….….…...…… 5 What is biodiversity and why is it important? …………..…………….. 7 Overview of the biodiversity resource in Hart …………..…...………. 9 Designated sites in Hart…………………………...……..…………… 11 Nature conservation sites managed by HDC………….………..….… 17 Action Plan 2018-23………………………………….…………….…. 19 2 1. Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.

  • Odiham and North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan 2014 - 2032
    Odiham and North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan 2014 - 2032 Final Strategic Environmental Assessment Report Published by Odiham Parish Council for consultation in accordance with EU Directive 2001/42 July 2016 Non Technical Summary 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of any significant environmental effects of the policies and proposals of the Submission version of the Odiham & North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan in accordance with EU Directive 2001/42 on strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The Neighbourhood Plan has been submitted by Odiham Parish Council to Hart District Council for its independent examination. The District Council has issued a screening opinion requiring an SEA of the Neighbourhood Plan under the Environmental Assessment of Plans & Programmes Regulations 2004. 2. The Final SEA report therefore provides an assessment of the Neighbourhood Plan in a way that is proportionate to this task and that recognises the limitations of the available data and means of measuring direct impacts. 3. The Neighbourhood Plan contains a number of policies for the use and development of land in the Parish in the plan period up to 2032. These policies, together with the policies of the development plan - that is the Hart District Local Plan(Replacement) 1996- 2006 and First Alterations -Saved Policies will be used by the District Council to help determine planning applications once the Neighbourhood Plan is made. The District Council is preparing a new Local Plan but the Neighbourhood Plan will be examined before the adoption of that Plan. In which case, the Neighbourhood Plan is being prepared to be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the adopted Local Plan but is being informed by the reasoning and evidence base of the emerging Local Plan.
