Droxford history


The Manor of Drocenesforda (Droxford) was granted to the Prior and monks of St. Swithun, Winchester, by King Egbert in 826. During the late 5th and early 6th centuries, the Jutes inhabited the Meon Valley, and at Droxford there is the remains of a large Jutish cemetery that has produced various grave goods, providing evidence of their settlement.

Church and landowner poverty relief

Droxford had legacies since the late 17th century and medium legacies relative to its small population since the 1850s for its poorest residents. In 1850 James George Boucher bequeathed to the rector and churchwardens a sum by 1905 growing to £190 18s. 7d. In 1905 the dividends, amounting to £5+11/30 a year, were applied with the similar-size Boucher charity.

The village is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Bishop’s Waltham. It is entirely on the lower half of the western slopes of the Meon valley.
