Jean Brent and Pat Goodwin's new book is subtitled 'a history of farms and farming families in a Hampshire parish', and covers the rural history of the area from the founding of Romsey Abbey up until recent times. Like the Broadlands Estate, the Fleming Estate was one of the major landowners, and the book contains a wealth of information about local farms and families. For more information, and to order a copy, see the Lower Test Valley Archaeological Study Group's website at www.ltvas.org.uk.
