Welcome to the THS index page, you can browse this site by choosing from the menu on the left.
Our forthcoming programme includes:
* Regular meetings with guest speakers who cover a wide range of interesting subjects.
* Exciting research projects about our remarkable village.
* Group visits to places of interest during the summer break.
At this site you can:
* Join in discussion on historical matters on the Message Board, either by commenting on someone else's chosen subject or by starting your own.
* Sign our Guest Book and leave your contact details.
* Order publications on the THS Bookshelf.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE USE THE "MESSAGE BOARD". If you have a question to ask about someone who might have lived in the area or some other aspect of the village to explore, it is more powerful to put your question to the public at large by creating a subject on our "Message Board" (see menu). The matter you raise will stay in the public domain and may continue to gather interest. There are multiple pages that you can navigate using tabs in the header and footer.
We have no tracking system for casual email messages, so they may not yield satisfy results. Please note that the purpose of the "Guest Book" is simply to say hello and offers no means of reply, whereas the "Message Board" does.
Titchfield History Society membership is open to all those interested in the study and research of our village heritage. There are no age limits.

New Guest Book Signatories
Welcome to Barbara Moore, Kay Latter, Tony DeFide, Susan Gillingham, Karma Boss, Rhonda O'Connor and Brenda Buckingham, who recently signed the THS guest book. Thank you for your kind comments about our website, here are responses to some of your questions.
Annual membership of Titchfield History Society is available at £7.50. This gains entry to our monthly meetings (September to May) when there is a guest speaker and a free coffee. If you would like to visit us and you have signed the Guest Book, we would be delighted to see you.
It is very sad when developers manage to infiltreate our village and destroy part of its charm, but attempting to keep its character is a responsibility shared by all residents. Fareham Borough Council must approve all building work in Titchfield but individuals can track the planning permission and respond. Whilst the Coach and Horses may have reached the end of its life as a public house (the Co-op must outsell every other outlet), we can at least attempt to ensure that it retains its gabled charm.
As mentioned elsewhere people asking for information should use the ‘Message Board’ ; we have a regular group who delight in the projects they share and some live in far off lands. "Hughender" sounds like an address of a strawberry farm, Kelly’s directory is good for tracing business information, whilst Hampshire Record office is in Winchester...and let's hope they widen the pavement at the same time!
NEW EDITION,
THS has just published the 4th edition of 'Titchfield-a History'. This, our first book, has now sold several hundred copies on a world wide scale.

Please note
Funtley Iron Mill
We had another message from Peter Hamilton 'Further to my message about the footpath through Iron Mill Lane, it is disturbing to see that the right of way has been moved into the next field so that walkers can no longer follow the road laid with iron slag and think about Cort's contribution to British industry.
