Synopsis
Topographical Account Of The Hundred Of Bosmere By W. Bingley, Ed. By W. Butler by William Bingley. This 1817 edition is an antiquarian topographical survey of the Hundred of Bosmere in Hampshire, detailing the parishes of Havant, Warblington, Hayling, and Langstone Harbour. It compiles historical, geographical, and architectural observations from ancient times to the early modern period, including Roman remains at Warblington, Domesday references, manorial histories, and parish church descriptions. The work surveys natural features, springs, and soils, and covers economic life such as agriculture, salt-making, fisheries, and the sea–borne economy. It also documents parish records, epitaphs, local biographies, and genealogies of landed families, as well as ecclesiastical structures, estate management, and the development of local infrastructure. The volume is a valuable resource for local history, archaeology, and genealogical research, reflecting early 19th?century antiquarian scholarship in Hampshire.
