Titchfield Conservation Area

Titchfield village is set in the open countryside of the Meon Valley. It lies on the western bank of the river Meon, approximately 2½ miles west of Fareham town centre and dates back to at least the 8^th century when the church was established. It was designated a conservation area in 1969 and the boundary was subsequently amended to include a larger area in 1994. The village grew from a medieval core, comprising High Street, Church Street, South Street and the lower end of West Street. Its attractive character arises from use of traditional local materials, the small scale of the buildings and the mixture of building styles which range from Tudor and Jacobean through to Georgian and Victorian. The undeveloped Meon valley provides an important wider setting for the village.
