About Fawley
Fawley stands at the very Eastern edge of the New Forest, almost on Southampton
Water. The Parish has Bronze Age barrows, Roman remains and the old Roman
road at Holbury and Stone Point, which was the landing point of the Saxons
when they came from the Isle of Wight. It is perhaps best known for the
large Fawley power station which dominates the landscape..
For visitors interested in local history, the village of Fawley is mentioned
in the Domesday book, and has a thriving local history society, the Fawley
Historians which meets once month. They formed in 1958 as Fawley Local
History Group, and since then has held regular monthly meetings (excluding
August and December).
