As part of the recent ‘Meon Valley‘ DVD project we were privileged to see inside what was once the Bishops of Winchester’s Manor House and administration centre of their largest estate in Hampshire during the Medieval Ages. The Court Hall we see today was built in the late 14th Century, probably on the site of an earlier Saxon Manor House. It was carefully restored in the 1930’s by the Scottish architect Morley Horder (1870 – 1944) who lived there. Today it is still a private house. In 1986 a model was produced using East Meon, Hampshire, to show what a ‘typical’ Saxon village would have looked like in 1066. The model was produced as part of the 900th anniversary celebrations of the Domesday Book being produced. The model included a representation of the original Manor House – now Court Hall and Court House, Hampshire. The model was displayed in the Great Hall in Winchester (Hampshire) and is now on show at the Bayeux Museum in France.
