Excerpt from The Hampshire Antiquary and Naturalist, Vol. 1: Being the Local Notes and Queries, Reports of Meetings of the Hampshire Field Club,& Other Archaeological and Natural History Matters Reprinted From "the Hampshire Independent" In response to a frequently expressed desire that the Local Notes and Queries and other articles on Hampshire antiquities appearing in The Hampshire Independent should be reprinted in a more convenient form for permanent reference than is afforded by the columns of a weekly newspaper, which too few think worthy of preservation, this little book has been prepared as an instalment, to be followed by others if warranted by sufficient support being enlisted. It has often too been suggested that there should be some permanent record of the meetings of the Hampshire Field Club. This Club is doing much by its periodical visits to various parts of the county to make known many interesting features in out of the way corners, and to elicit an interest in local antiquities, which has already borne fruit in increased study and better preservation. The only full and regularly published reports of these meetings are those of The Hampshire Independent, and the republication of these will doubtless be welcomed by many besides members of the Club. Some perhaps may also value the republication of the weekly weather tables of the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, and the monthly weather reports contributed by Mr. T. Westlake, of Fordingbridge, and for naturalists generally there are articles on the zoology, botany and geology of the county. Among the contributors may be named the Rev. W. Benham, F.S.A.; Rev. J. Silvester Davies, M.A., F.S.A.; the late Charles Roach Smith, F.S.A.; Mr. T. W. Shore, F.G.S., F.C.S.; Mr. W. J. C. Moens, C.C.; &c. In the arrangement it has been found convenient to follow the order of publication of the issues in which the various articles appeared. The value of the book will be much enhanced by a very full index of several thousand references. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ...it. In a county history the brass is alluded to thus: -In the description of old Hordle Church we are told of a brass supposed to commemorate a certain Sir Reginald le Clerke, ot Hurdle, who was slain in the Wars of the Roses. The brass was destroyed about a century ago, when the (-rave stone in which it was embedded was moved from the north transept to the east end ol the church.-The brass, however, could not have been destroyed a century ago, as the rubbing is dated 15 July, 1870, but there is Mo means of knowing by whom the rubbing was taken, as it was purchased at a book stall in London." The brass was a neat little figure, about a foot in length, in a style of armour very similar to that exhibited in a much larger figure at Thame, in Oxfordshire, date about 1460, but in the Hordwell figure the head is represented bare, resting on a helmet, which is omitted in that at Thame. The date would thus correspond very well with the tradition mentioned in the county history. DECREASE OF POPULATION OF HAMPSHIRE. William Cobbett, in his "Rural Rides " (1821 to 1832) through Hants, Wilts, etc., expressed in very forcible language his opinion that the population of the south and west of England was not nearly so dense as formerly; he even goes so far as to write, "There can be no doubt in the mind of any rational man, that in the time of the Plantagenets England was, out of all comparison, more populous than it is now l" He gives in many pages of his book his reasons for this belief, mainly founded on the size of the churches in comparison with the population. The following few references to Hampshire anent this subject may be interesting: --Vol. I, p. 173. "Hambledon is a long, straggling village, lying in a little...
