Stubbington
Stubbington is a village which is located between Southampton and Portsmouth, in the county of Hampshire on the south coast of England. It is within the borough of Fareham.
Both Stubbington and neighbouring Crofton were mentioned in the Domesday Book (the 11th-century UK census) as small districts belonging to the estates of Titchfield Abbey.
The earliest known cricket match to have been played in Hampshire took place in the village in 1733.[citation needed]
During the 19th century, Stubbington engulfed Crofton and the small fishing village of Hill Head. The Crofton name still remains in the name of many local facilities, such as the Crofton School and Crofton Old Church.
At the start of the 20th century, the village still consisted of just a few dozen cottages and farms. By 1939, the population had risen to around 2,500, and a number of small shops had opened surrounding the village green. This remains the focus of the village to the present day, with a war memorial situated on the central village green.[citation needed]
A church at Crofton Old Church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and some elements of the existing church are thought to date from the ninth or tenth century. It was previously Holy Rood, but was renamed St. Edmund's in 1878, and is also known as Crofton Old Church. Most of the current building is fourteenth century or later.
A new church (Holy Rood) was built in Stubbington in 1878, and took over the function of Crofton Church.
In 1922 a wooden War Memorial was built to commemorate those from Stubbington and Hill Head who were killed in the First World War. The Memorial takes the form of a shelter over the village pump, and today it is one of few pre-war structures standing in the vicinity of Stubbington Village Centre.
