  • BITTERNE AFTER the ROMANS. DOMESDAY Book Is Usually
    148 : HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB BITTERNE AFTER THE ROMANS. By O. G. S". CRAWFORD, B.A., F.S.A. OMESDAY Book is usually regarded as a measure of antiquity, conferring the hall-mark of authentic age upon such places D as are there mentioned. Bitterne is not mentioned by this name in Domesday, but the history of the manor can be traced back to before Domesday. In the year 1045 King "Edward the Confessor gave land at Stanham to the monastery of St. Peter and Paul at Winchester, that is to say, to the Cathedral. The bounds of this land are given ; their identification is not at all easy, but one thing is quite certain, namely, that they include a portion- of South Stoneham ; for an earlier grant of land (in 932).to-the new Minster at Winchester can be identified by the bounds with part of North Stoneham. We must therefore exclude all the land included in that earlier grant from the present one (of 1045). We may also exclude all manors known to exist at the time of Domesday, for it is highly improbable that any such would be included in the grant of a manor made only 41 years previously. That cuts out the manors of Allington, Woolston, Shirley and Chilworth. Unfor- tunately the exact extent of these manors is unknown, but the possible extent of the Stoneham grant is to some extent defined. The bounds begin at Swaythlihg well, which must have been somewhere near Swaythling. The " old Itchen " and the " new river " (niwan ea) are then mentioned, and then, after a number of unidentifiable bound-marks (loam-pits, Wadda's stoc, white stone) we come to " wic hythe." This last must mean the hithe or quay of the old Saxon town of Southampton, whose alternative names were Homwic and Horn- or Ham-tun.

  • September 2015 Newsletter for STEM Ambassadors
    Winchester Science Centre Newsletter View Online September 2015 Newsletter for STEM Ambassadors Dear STEM Ambassadors, Welcome to the latest newsletter for STEM ambassadors in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. June and July were exceptionally busy months, with events ranging from National Women in Engineering Day to Big Bang Fairs held across the region. Thank you for all your contributions that helped to make these such a success. Latest figures show that 98% of local state secondary schools now use STEM Ambassadors to enrich their STEM curriculum. Huge thanks for your enthusiasm and hard work in achieving this level of support for local schools. Of course the aim is to achieve 100% in the coming months. I very much look forward to working with you all to enrich STEM provision within Hampshire and Isle of Wight, in my new role as the STEM Resources Manager as part of the STEM Team at Winchester Science Centre. Kind regards, Emily Thorpe-Smith STEM Resources Manager STEM News The start of the new academic year is a good time to plan activities for the coming months. Network meetings are taking place around the region to offer teachers practical ways that STEM Ambassadors can support and enrich their curricula in the coming months. This is an excellent forum for both new and experienced STEM Ambassadors. The Southampton event took place last week and was well attended with over 30 teachers and STEM Ambassadors meeting to discuss recent activities and new opportunities. Read more about STEM Forums.
