THE HUNDRED OF FAREHAM 



CONTAINING THE PARISH OF 



FAREHAM 



At the time of the Domesday Survey the hundred of Fareham consisted 

 of Fareham only, and it had probably been included in the grant of the latter 

 to the see of Winchester about the ninth century. In 1284 the king, prob- 

 ably as the result of a suit of which, however, no record can be found, gave 

 up to John bishop of Winchester, and his successors, all his right in the 

 hundred of Fareham. 8 In the thirteenth century Peter des Roches withdrew 

 the suit of Bromwich from the hundred of Titchfield to his court of Fareham, 

 and by 1 279 the tithings of North Fareham, Catisfield, Dean, Pokesole, Cams, 

 and Bedenham had been added and are mentioned as having neglected to do

suit at Fareham. 8 By 1346 Fareham had been still further enlarged by the 

 addition of Crockerhill, Camsbishop, and Prallingworth, the latter having been 

 transferred from Titchfield Hundred, while some time during the next century 

 Abshot was added.* Of these places Camsbishop has probably been merged 

 in Camsoysell, Dean is in Bishop's Waltham, Bromwich and Abshot in Titch- 

 field ; Crockerhill and Catisfield are small hamlets in Fareham, while Pralling- 

 worth, Bedenham, and Pokesole have ceased to exist.
