Wickham, Hampshire history
Early settlements
The Romans established a settlement at Wickham, on the road from the Roman centres of Chichester and Winchester. Iron works have been found northeast of the village, and various Roman finds to the southwest.
Post-Norman Conquest
The present church of St Nicholas dates from 1126 and was run by the Canons of Titchfield. In 1269, King Henry III granted a charter to Roger de Scures for markets to be held on a Thursday. Wickham fair (often referred to Wickham Horse Fair) is still held each year on 20 May.
Industrialisation and Victorian Wickham
In 1801 Wickham had a population of 901 and compared to most of the villages in Hampshire it was a large community. In 1820, Chesapeake Mill was built with timber taken from an American ship captured in the War of 1812. In 1903, a branch railway was built from Fareham through Wickham, to Droxford and Alton. It was closed to passengers in 1955 and the line converted to a footpath.
