Bitterne Manor history

---

Bitterne Manor is the site of the Roman settlement of Clausentum, the forerunner to today’s City of Southampton. Archaeological evidence shows Saxon activity around the area within the old roman walls may have been the Burh of Hampton. The manor house was used by the Bishop of Winchester, who travelled from manor to manor with his court throughout each year. With its easy access to the River Itchen and the navigation to Winchester, the bishops used it as a distribution centre for wine and salt.
