| The popular history of Fawley is well known and documented, in the Parish archives, books, libraries and the internet. In a half hour, the casual visitor can easily soak up the better-known historical facts of the place from any number of sources; what we propose to do here is to explore some of the lesser-known, or less well-remembered, sides, and take, at times, an iconoclastic and shamelessly biased view of the village as we know it. |
 Falcon Hotel, early 20th C. |
 Teletubby Hill, early 21st C. O tempora! O mores!

From bog bodies, Fawley 'B', and the occasional grisly murder, to local amateur dramatics, artists, and the much-debated Millennium improvements, we shall take a look at a rather different Fawley; one whose history might be closer to us than a collection of stories about Saxon landing-places and the Domesday Book. No apologies are offered for the author's bias; hopefully none will be needed. Comments and suggestions for additions to the site are welcome; please email webmaster@fawleyvillage.co.uk |
