Hello againLast month, I received a call from a local resident bringing to myattention a few errors on the walk featured in the regularHampshire Walks page. Fortunately, the mistakes didn’t resultin the need for her rescue or worse a parking ticket but I took the criticism onboard and promised to “do better next time”. Well, last Friday was the first gloriousday of May so true to my word I drove to Awbridge village to test the walk myselfwith dog Dempsey in tow before printing it (this particular walk featured on p20 wassubmitted to Discover Magazines by a rambler in Romsey). When my husband askedthe question “Did you have a nice day at the office, dear?” I could honestly say thattaking two hours out of my busy day to walk the dog was indeed work-related!

calling Keen Walkers in so18 The instructions did indeed need clarification andsome forestry maintenance meant a very necessary amend so in future a test run willbe mandatory. If you have a rural walk that you’d like to share with the communitythen please email it, preferably with a map and I’ll donate £15 to the charity of yourchoice. Also, if we have any keen ramblers amongst us who would like to test runother walks for Discover please contact me. The walk and map are downloadable fromour new website www.discovercommunity.co.uk.

Will you please ‘like us’? After attending a short course on social media(organised by @popsocialuk) I’ve finally set up Discover’s own Facebookpage - www.facebook.com/discoverMagazines - so if you enjoy readingyour local magazine then please give us the thumbs up and Like it!

A seat of learning, a testament to timelessBritish architecture, a sanitary sanctuary forinjured servicemen and women and, of course,a family home.

Townhill Park House has transcendedtime in numerous guises but throughall has retained a certain proud andmajestic heritage.

The use of this grand and prestigioushouse has changed many times andyet unlike many of its contemporarybuildings, Townhill Park Houseremains a building of generousproportions and designed beauty.The house itself has undergone manychanges but nothing can take away

the heritage and deep history that lies behind theheavy oak doors that guard, retain and hide theidentity of the house.

In its formative days, Townhill Park House waspart of the originalmanor farm and laterduring the late 1700s itwas converted tobecome a gentleman’sresidence. By 1897Townhill Park Housewas acquired by thefirst Lord Swaythling,Ivor Montagu for hiseldest son and heir,Louis Montagu, for theimpending marriage ofLouis to Lady GladysGoldsmid. On the deathof his father, Louisbecame the secondLord Swaythling.

Townhill Park House


In 1911 Louis Montagu started a programme ofimprovement and renovation for Townhill ParkHouse. Louis employed the eminent youngarchitect, Leonard Rome Guthrie who oversawimprovements and renovations to the building.Louis also employed the famous garden designerand horticulturalist of the time, Gertrude Jekyll,to establish the detailed gardens, designingframed views, yew hedging, dry stone wallingand the magnificent sunken garden. Togetherthey planned, built and created the gardens thatsurrounded the house.

In 1927 the house was occupied bythe third Lord Swaythling, Stuart - sonof Lord Louis - after his father’s death.Lord Stuart moved into the housewith his wife Lady Mary. When theSecond World War broke out in 1939,Lord Stuart loaned the house to theRed Cross, where it became aconvalescent home for soldiers.After the war in 1948, Lord and LadySwaythling divorced and TownhillPark House and the estates were sold.

The estates weredivided into lotsand most werebought for housingdevelopment.However, thehouse and 30acres were boughtby MiddlesexCounty Council.

Under the ownership of Middlesex CountyCouncil, the House was used as a residentialboarding school for girls; the use remainedunchanged until 1970.

In the years from 1970-85, Townhill Park Houseafforded yet another use as it provided a suitablelocation for a hostel for Merchant Navy cadets.After the Cadets left occupation in 1984, thehostel closed and the estate ownership changedagain, this time being acquired by HampshireCounty Council. The House was then brieflyused as a conference centre until 1994, when theexpanding Gregg School acquired the house andgrounds to provide a facility of education andlearning. Today Townhill Park House isflourishing under the ownership of ‘The Gregg’and is benefiting from the school’s efforts toregenerate the property to its former glory.

IF you have a mobility scooter and the mea-ns to transport it, why not join HampshireRoamAbility?

We ramble all over Hampshire and fringes ofneighbouring counties, three or four a month in thesummer and one or two in the winter, and welcomethose who are mobility challenged, as well asanyone able bodied and family members. We planrambles that are free of stiles, kissing gates andother obstructions. The New Forest, in particular, isone of our favourite destinations as well as manycoastal rambles.

It is a lifeline for those of us who are unable to walkvery well; it means being able to get out intothe countryside and offers the chance to meetnew friends and see interesting places. We alsocampaign for better access to the countryside andwork with other access groups to get difficultbarriers and gates replaced.

If this is of interest to you, please contact TheSecretary, Hampshire RoamAbility on 02380293156 and we will be pleased to give you muchmore information.

Historical note... The lake at Awbridge Daneswas excavated in the 1920s to provide work forthe local unemployed, each man being paidone shilling (10p) a day and a loaf of bread.Roman occupation of the area is confirmed bytiles, pottery and coins being found atAwbridge House, dating from the late romanperiod of AD 307. The names Danes Road andAwbridge Danes record the presence ofDanish occupation of the area, possibly fromthe 11th or 12th centuries.

Mottisfont church is a Grade I listed buildingoriginally of 12th century origin that initiallyclaimed pastoral responsibility for Mottisfont,Lockerley and Broughton. Its earliest parts pre-date Mottisfont Abbey.

Among its artefacts, the church contains a 17thcentury clock which has no face and nopendulum. Its movement derives its energysolely from hung weights and a bell is rung onthe hour. Which hour is of course anybodiesguess.

The modern road that runs between Awbridge,Lockerley, the Tytherleys, Broughton and theA30 was originally a turnpike {toll) road in themid 18th century. Similarly, the short stretch ofroad from East Dean joining this road was alsoa toll road.
