Fawley
The village of Fawley near the New Forest in
Hampshire.
A settlement has existed at Fawley for many centuries, and the
village itself was recorded in the Domesday Book. Other areas in the
parish can boast remains from the Stone Age and Roman occupation.
According the Open Churches Trust, a church at Fawley was first
recorded in 971. The present church (All Saints) was built between
1170 and 1340 [1]. This church still exists and is the parish church
of much of the surrounding area. The arrival of the Esso oil
refinery in 1921 transformed a sparsely populated agricultural area
into an industrial centre with a population of around 14,500. Modern
Fawley is smaller and less populous than its more recently founded
neighbours, Blackfield and Holbury, but remains the administrative
centre of the parish.
Other villages within the parish of Fawley include Calshot, and Lepe,
which both possess shingle beaches and attract significant numbers
of tourists and local visitors during the summer months.
