  • Itchen Ferry Village Education Pack
    ITCHEN FERRY VILLAGE EDUCATION PACK ITCHEN FERRY EDUCATION PACK TEACHERS NOTES AND CONTENTS The information contained in this pack provides a good basis for a worthwhile project based on the history of Itchen Ferry Village. This lost village, almost destroyed by enemy action and now subsumed into the suburb of Woolston, was once described as ‘the most interesting village on the banks of the Itchen’. The pack covers a wide range of topics connected with the history of Itchen Ferry Village. It is chiefly directed at Key Stage 2 students (aged 10 – 11) but can be adapted to suit other ages and abilities. There are plenty of opportunities for cross-curricular work with links to English, History, Drama, Geography, Mathematics, Science, Music, Sport and Art. The Pack is presented in ‘manageable’ chunks, each with a ‘suggested follow up’ activity to support a range of curriculum subjects. Again, these can be adapted to suit the needs of individual classes. (The section on Smugglers, for example, could include the effect of ‘Chinese whispers’, be extended to dramatisation, be limited to an acrostic poem, or a ‘Wanted’ poster of a well- known local smuggler, detailing description / characterstics / aliases / crimes etc). Clearly, all the activities may be extended to stimulate thought, debate and imagination (not necessarily in that order). For more able students, it may lead to such questions as ‘How far does Geography determine / influence History?’ (Particularly relevant in the case of Itchen Ferry Village) Follow up activities such as ‘Find out about the role of the Spitfire in World War II’, utilising a range of sources (internet, books, interviews, etc) can lead to valuable independent research and widen collaborative effort.

  • Peartree Church Walk – Final Copy
    Peartree Church Walk – final copy Starting outside the Church can talk about the following features then go in to the Churchyard (circular tour anti clockwise) then in to the Church. Peartree Green URC, Peartree Green, Peartree House, Jesus Chapel, War Memorial Peartree Green United Reformed Church dates from 1840 having had its beginnings in a cottage and village reading society. It drew people from Bitterne, Sholing, Bitterne Park as well as Netley and West End. Comment made in a history book wonders at this, given the fact that this was before the motor car. Part of the chapel’s history recalls the lighting arrangements. In 1855 candles were replaced by lamps, with gas following in 1872. By 1908 the chapel keeper was being required to open the building, arrange heating, lighting and ventilation, attend special meetings and help with the washing up and packing away of the china, for which services an extra 2/6 was to be paid. The keeper was also required to turn off the gas at the meter after all meetings and polish and clean the glass globes with care so delicate mantles were not disturbed. In the late 1700s a Captain James Bryer lived hereabouts at Peartree Green. Tradition has it that a Corsican schoolboy called Napoleon boarded a vessel at Havre le Grace bound for Southampton. Napoleon was looking for cheap lodgings and, with his lack of money and language problems, Capt Bryer took him home. Years later, Bryer realised that the young man had become the Emperor Napoleon so Bryer’s first grandchild was given the name of Napoleon.

In less disturbed areas. no deposits of archaeological interest were uncovered and no artefacts were recovered. The site is therefore considered to have low archaeological potential.
