The picture was taken at Lee-on-the-Solent, the closest I could get to Titchfield. Somebody asked today, why was Titchfield a historic town, and I had to look the answer up.
It’s played a significant role at certain points in in history, it’s abbey was established in 1231, and was visited by Henry VI and was used as a hideout by Charles 1 during the civil war.
It also has links with Shakespeare.
I wonder if its 13th century church was restored by the victorians (called vandalism by others). It was an important market town, and a a busy port until that silted up.
I think it’s quite reasonable for it to claim its historic status.
