Early history

A series of round barrows, dating from the Bronze Age (2000-600 BC, have been discovered in the Moorgreen area of the parish. A hilltop fort from the Iron Age was built on the ridge above the village around 600-100BC. A shutter telegraph station operated from the site during the Napoleonic Wars, forming part of the line connecting London to Plymouth.

19th century

In 1838, a national school was opened to house 192 children. The ecclesiastical parish of West End was established in 1840, two years after the construction of the original St James’ Church. In 1846 a Bible Christian chapel was constructed in Chapel Road. A poor house had existed at the eastern end of the village for some time.

20th century

In 1900, two further Methodist chapels were built, one in the Moorgreen area and one in Swaythling Road. In 1904 the children of the national school were moved to a new location with the old school building becoming the parish hall. During the 20th century, the school moved again into a new (third) building and was renamed St James’ Primary School.

21st century

The Rose Bowl (or Ageas Bowl) cricket ground was built in 2000 along with an accompanying hotel and conference facilities and a 18-hole golf course. It has hosted several international cricket games and hosted a number of well known musical acts such as Oasis, Neil Diamond, R.E.M. and Billy Joel.
