More about Titchfield Hampshire
Titchfield is a small village in southern Hampshire,
by the River Meon. Close-by lie the ruins of Titchfield
Abbey, a place with strong associations with
Shakespeare, through his patron, the Earl of
Southampton. To the East lies the town of Fareham,
whilst to the south are Hill Head and the Solent.
Westwards lie the River Hamble and Southampton.
Titchfield forms part of the borough of Fareham, having
been added to the Fareham urban district in 1932.
The first people mentioned as inhabiting the area were
the Jutish tribe, the Meonwara. St Peter’s Church,
Titchfield, was established in about 680, so it is one
of the oldest churches in England. The Domesday Book in
1086 mentions "Ticefelle": with a mill, a market and
farms it was a successful community, though tiny by
today’s standards.
Premonstratensian canons founed Titchfield Abbey in the
12th century, dominating the village and its
surroundings for 300 years. Henry VIII dissolved the
abbey in the 16th century, giving the property to a
favoured politician, Thomas Wriothesley who turned it
into "Place House" and took the title Earl of
Southampton. Charles I was captured here before being
held in Carisbrooke Castle. Shakespeare was a close
friend of Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl and certainly
visited; it is believed that some sonnets were written
for him.
When Place House fell into disrepair, local people took
materials for their houses; look for evidence in walls
and foundations. Much though is inside the buildings; in
The Bugle Hotel, for example, you can see a big
fireplace with a stone beam of ecclesiastical design.
Titchfield has long been a centre for business; once
there was a small port (you’ll have to guess where
because the 3rd Earl of Southampton closed the mouth of
the River Meon at Hill Head in 1610), tanneries
(buildings still exist), a market, a fair, brewers,
craftsmen, traders and business people.
A Market Hall was built in Titchfield Square by the 3rd
Earl of Southampton in the early 17th century. This was
moved behind the Queen’s Head Public House in 1810 and,
in 1970, in a derelict state, was bought by the Weald
and Downland Museum and moved to Singleton where it now
stands proudly restored in the centre of a new (old)
village.
