Odiham history
The first written record of Odiham is in the Domesday Book (1086), where it appears with its current spelling. The spellings Odiam and Wudiham have sometimes been used since.
Odiham Castle
King John decided in 1204 to build Odiham Castle and it was built during the years 1207 to 1214 at a cost of over £1000. In 1216 the French Dauphin Louis VIII besieged King John in the castle for two weeks. During the fourteenth century the castle played a role in several significant events, including a sitting of Parliament, and imprisonment of King David II of Scotland. However by the fifteenth century its only use was as a hunting lodge.
Odiham Pest House
Odiham Pest House was built c. 1622 and housed local people and travellers suffering from the plague, smallpox and other infectious diseases. Many such “isolation hospitals” were built in that period but it is one of only five surviving examples surviving.

Thomas Cox wrote in 1738:
Odiham Agricultural Society
On 16 May 1783, the Odiham Agricultural Society was inaugurated by a group drawn from ‘Gentlemen of Rank, fortune and Ingenuity’ The Society also resolved to reform farriery and animal care by establishing a school to teach veterinary science in England. This was to result in the foundation of the Royal Veterinary Society.
