Monument MPM1839 - Site of Farlington Farm

Site of Farlington Farm, also known as Upper Farlington Farm. Farlington was originally a medieval manor and appears on La Fabvolliere's map of c1665 [1, 2]. An advert for Farlington Farm which appeared in the Hampshire Chronicle on the 11th December 1780 described the premises as 'consisting of a very good Dwelling-house, barns, stables and bartons…' [3]. The Farlington tithe and apportionment of 1838 records the farm as the homestead and garden of Samuel Gloyne, who also owned Farlington House and a group of outbuildings on the north side of Havant Road, all of which formed part of the farm estate (see MPM1835 & MPM1838) [4]. An advert for the farm which appeared in the Hampshire Telegraph on the 21st June 1912 mentions a 'newly erected farmhouse' [5]. The site was in use as an engineering works by 1952, and a pub had replaced the farm buildings on the west side of the site [6]. The Hampshire Rural Settlement Survey states that some of the farm buildings still survive [1]. The site is now used as a commercial yard.
