Next Meeting

Hamble, Bursledon and Hound Churches

THURSDAY 10th September 7.30pm - Hamble Memorial Hall (Rear Hall)

The monks of Hamble Priory built Hamble Church between 1109 and 1128.  Subsequently, they built Bursledon Church later in this century and Hound church about c.1230.  Well-known local historian, Jeff Martin, will be telling the stories of these associated churches from their founding to present-day at the Society’s next meeting.  Interesting stories such as Hamble Church being burnt and plundered by the French despite its French connections, Bursledon Church could be approached by the river until the railway was built and a gallery at Hound Church collapsing injuring several of the congregation.

New members and visitors are always welcomed!  The cost is £2 a meeting.
