Grid Ref : SU5500007200
Summary : Deer park - pre 1279, lodge (site of)
More information : (Area SU 550 072) Fareham Park has existed from a very early date. In 1279, a complaint of park-breaking and deer-stealing occurs and in 1477 there is a record of payment for a hedge round the park. Held by the Bishop of Winchester, the park was leased in 1541 to Sir Thom Wriothesley and continued in that family. The timber appears to have been in great demand for ship-building, and this is mentioned in 1538 together with report of the shortage of stags due to poaching (1). Bounds and 'lodge' shown and described (2). Lodge sited at 'A' SU 55000719 (3) confirmed (2). (1-3) The bounds of Fareham Park are on the south and south-east followed by modern roads, and on the west the R Meon formed a natural boundary. Traces of the park pale were observed during field investigation. The lodge mentioned in Authy 2 has been replaced by a modern building. (4) (SU 5531 0770 - 5542 0745) The mutilated remains of the park pale are still visible extending for approx 270 metres in a SSE direction from the SE corner of Iron Mill Coppice. The pale consists of a mutilated tree-covered bank averaging 5.0m in width and 1.2m in height with no obvious ditch(es). (5) Now reduced to a mutilated fragment some 200.0m in length in a copse beside a housing estate. Surveyed at 1:2500. (6) All trace of Park Pale on SU 5507 NW destroyed. (7) Nothing which can be positively identified as remains of the park pale can be found. (8)
