The New Forest

Note 165 — Chapter XIII · CHRISTCHURCH.

Reading edition

Holdenhurst had ten hydes and a half taken into the Forest (Domesday, as before, iv. a). It then possessed a small church, and, as we find one mentioned in the charter of Richard de Redvers in Henry I.’s reign, we may fairly conclude that this, too, was not destroyed by the Conqueror. There were also there fisheries for the use of the hall.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
