Victoria History of Hampshire

- Dummer and Kempshott, Two Chalkland Parishes: Dummer and Kempshott

Om Victoria History of Hampshire

A compact history of the villages of Dummer and Kempshott in Hampshire, England. This compact volume offers histories of two Hampshire villages: Dummer and Kempshott. Dummer, which is south of Basingstoke, has a rich and well-documented history and is a typical chalkland settlement supported by a sheep and corn economy. The diaries of the area's chief nineteenth-century landowner, Stephen Terry, give a vivid picture of Dummer life in the period, including the coming of the railways and visitors to the parish. The history of Kempshott, meanwhile, centers on Kempshott House, a grand mansion built in 1733. Foremost among those who lived at Kempshott House is the Prince of Wales, who would eventually become George IV, who leased the house as a hunting lodge and thereby transformed the social and sporting life for the gentry of north Hampshire.
