Hello againLast month, I received a call from a local resident bringing to my

attention a few errors on the walk featured in the regular

Hampshire Walks page. Fortunately, the mistakes didn’t result

in the need for her rescue or worse a parking ticket but I took the criticism on

board and promised to “do better next time”. Well, last Friday was the first glorious

day of May so true to my word I drove to Awbridge village to test the walk myself

with dog Dempsey in tow before printing it (this particular walk featured on p22 was

submitted to Discover Magazines by a rambler in Romsey). When my husband asked

the question “Did you have a nice day at the office, dear?” I could honestly say that

taking two hours out of my busy day to walk the dog was indeed work-related!

calling Keen Walkers in so40 The instructions did indeed need clarification and

some forestry maintenance meant a very necessary amend so in future a test run will

be mandatory. If you have a rural walk that you’d like to share with the community

then please email it, preferably with a map and I’ll donate £15 to the charity of your

choice. Also, if we have any keen ramblers amongst us who would like to test run

other walks for Discover please contact me. The walk and map are downloadable from

our 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 Facebook

page - www.facebook.com/discoverMagazines - so if you enjoy reading

your 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 transcended time innumerous guises but through all has retained acertain proud and majestic heritage.

The use of this grand and prestigious house haschanged many times and yet unlike many of itscontemporary buildings, Townhill Park Houseremains a building of generous proportionsand designed beauty. The house itself hasundergone many changes but nothing cantake away the heritage and deep history thatlies behind the heavy oak doors that guard,retain and hide the identity of the house.

In its formative days, Townhill Park House waspart of the original manor farm and laterduring the late 1700s it was converted tobecome a gentleman’s residence. By 1897Townhill Park House was acquired by the first

Lord Swaythling, Ivor Montagu for his eldest sonand heir, Louis Montagu, for the impendingmarriage of Louis to Lady Gladys Goldsmid. Onthe death of his father, Louis became the second

Lord Swaythling.

In 1911 Louis Montagu started aprogramme of improvement andrenovation for Townhill Park House. Louisemployed the eminent young architect,Leonard Rome Guthrie who oversawimprovements and renovations to thebuilding. Louis also employed the famousgarden designer and horticulturalist of thetime, Gertrude Jekyll, to establish thedetailed gardens, designing framed views,yew hedging, dry stone walling and themagnificent sunken garden. Together theyplanned, built and created the gardens that

surrounded the house.

In 1927 the house was occupied by the third LordSwaythling, Stuart - son of Lord Louis - after hisfather’s death. Lord Stuart moved into the housewith his wife Lady Mary. When the Second WorldWar broke out in 1939, Lord Stuart loaned the

Townhill Park House


house to the Red Cross, where it became aconvalescent home for soldiers. After the war in1948, Lord and Lady Swaythling divorced andTownhill Park House and the estates were sold.The estates were divided into lots and most werebought for housing development. However, thehouse and 30 acres were bought by 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 yearsfrom 1970-85,Townhill ParkHouseafforded yetanother use asit provided asuitable

location for a hostel forMerchant Navy cadets.After the Cadets leftoccupation in 1984, thehostel closed and theestate ownershipchanged again, this timebeing acquired byHampshire CountyCouncil. The House wasthen briefly used as aconference centre until 1994, when the

expanding 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.

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.




DIScOvER sHort story

“Good griefe! That cannot be thetime!” exclaimed Susan, enteringthe living room from the kitchenand drying her hands on a towel.“They'll be out in ten minutes”. Partof the attraction in living so close tothe school meant that she did nothave to use the car, the troublewas, she often squandered theadvantage by leaving it to the lastminute - morning and afternoon.

Tossing the towel onto a chair,which the cat saw coming andvacated just in the nick of time,she hurriedly pulled on a sweateragainst the unseasonable cold,Spring weather and jammed herfeet into a pair of open toed slip onsshoes. She really wanted to wearher birthday present Ugh boot, butthey were all the wayupstairs.

With another snatched look at theclock by the front door, sheslammed it behind her and jankedup the scooter by its handlebarsfrom the porch. The machineswung round to give her a heavy

blow on the knee.

Ignoring the pain she limp, trottedalong the path from the house tothe main road.

“Come on! Come on! Why is it thateverytime I want to cross this roadit coincides with an endless convoyof creepy crawlies?”

Losing her patience, she took achance and dashed to the island,causing a Ford Focus to brakesharply accompanied by a scowland a shouted obscenity from thedriver. “It's the school run,” sheshouted back, “you must expectthis sort of thing.”

Safely across, she began to jogtoward the cut way leading to theschool but the scooter took on alife force of its own and foughther every inch of the way. “You’reso stupid, Susan,” she chastisedherself. After several injuries fromthe wayward machine, “why don'tyou ride the thing?” I don't know,It's been years... so what... get on...

scoot scoot, sheordered herselfafter the internaldiscussion thatshe always carr-ied out whenundure what todo.

“Afternoon MrsGumby,” saidSusan, greeting aregular, carryinga neatly foldedscooter under herarm. “Why didn't Ithink of that?”

In the middle ofthe cut way was alarge puddle thatsusan estimatedshe could glidethrough afterone good push.

She was wrong.

She shook thedirty melt waterfrom her shoe,but could donothing about itsoaking up her

jeans,andpushedon.

In spiteof thewet, cold foot andleg, she began toenjoy the thrillof the wind in her hair andgirlish memories; the showingoff in front of other mothers witharmfuls of scooters, that is until shehit the opposite curb of the schoolroad and ended up on all fours.

“Not hurt,” she lied, scrambling upand pulling down her sweater thathad risen some wayup her back,attracting appreciative stares frombuilders on the roof of a nearbyhouse.

“Remount, or you'll lose yournerve,” she ordered herself.

“Afternoon, Angela, Georgie... MrsBarney,” she shouted.

“Oh, that's disgusting,” shecomplained out loud, negotiatingseveral piles of dog mess, “rightoutside of the school like that.”

Dismounting, she headed for thesmal side gate to the playground.

“Ouch!” she cried out, slightlywinded and realising that a threefoot long scooter does notgo through a two feet nine inchopening... sideways.

“Made it,” she congratulated herself,as the first of the children began toleave the classroom.

“Did you remember it?” askedTyrese, aware that his mothercould be... well... a little ditzy whenit came to things particular and lifein general; which probably wentsome way in explaining why hehad turned up in his Easter Bonneton alien day and had to reurnhome for a quick change.

“Yes,” answered his mother,holding up the scooter in triumph.

“What's the matter?” she asked him,seeing the look of disappoint-ment on his face.

“It's Wednesday,” he said.

“So?”

“Wednesday is bike day”.
