The ParishThe parish of Hound lies in the extreme south of mainland Hampshire forming part of the county's coastline with the English Channel, here the eastern edge of Southampton Water. Hound today is little more than a crossroads midway between the larger settlements of Bursledon, Hamble le Rice and Netley and situated about 3 miles southeast of the port of Southampton. Hound is located on the B3397 road which runs from the A3024 (Southampton to Fareham) road down to Hamble le Rice. Today Hound has almost but not quite been absorbed into the wider metropolitan area of Southampton but a slight green gap severs the hamlet from its larger neighbour. As a coastal community Hound would have had a mixed economy, albeit the shoreline here has no harbour, inland farming would have dominated. As a coastal community numerous small streams drain the parish into nearby Southampton Water. Hound is sited at around 20 metres above the sea and sits on a broad and largely flat coastal plain with local heights only rising gently inland to around 50 metres or so. Hound parish was quite large in extent for a southern parish, it covered around 3,700 acres and would have supported a population of around 1,000 parishioners but only 100 or so were in Hound itself. In Domesday times Hound was held by one Hugh de Port and could offer 9 ploughs, a small meadow and 2 mills. |
