Horndean history

---

Horndean was a staging post on the road from Portsmouth to London (now the A3) In 1836 it became home to the Hon. Sir Charles Napier Senior, father to Sir Charles. A three-storey workhouse was built during Victorian times to home the local poor. This stood on a site currently developed into a large retirement complex in 2017/18.

Meaning of name

The name Horndean most likely means “valley by a horn-shaped hill” The second part of the name, Dean, can also mean forest, giving rise to further connotations. Alternatively “Harne” is the old English word for Dormouse making it “Valley of the Dormouses”
