Description
There are bronze age burial barrows within the parish boundaries of East Meon which date back to 2,000 BC; there is an iron age fort,just outside the parish boundaries, on Old Winchester Hill constructed 500 years before the Romans invaded Britain, and there is evidence of Roman occupation in and around the village.
East Meon itself may have started life somewhere between 400 and 600 AD. Then it was part of a Royal Manor belonging first to King Alfred the Great. The Domesday Survey of 1086 shows that the Manor then belonged to William the Conqueror; it records six mills and land for 64 ploughs.

Interesting historical place, lovely capture!
superbly done !
marveolus capture..well done..!!!
Its hard to believe this is a real place.
Wonderful shot, and your postwork is goegeous as ever..
A most picturesque village nicely captured. I like the neat, orderly stream. Between the 1930's and 1960's, a good many watercourses were straightened in this manner by the various water authorities. They called it river and stream improvements. Current practice is to restore them to meandering courses as the straight channels allow the water to flow faster which causes flooding further downstream when they encounter bends or obstructions such as weirs or narrower banks which slow the water up again. Still, they look nice when the water is at normal levels.
GREAT pic !!!!!!!!!!!! and thanks for sharing the history!!!! tom

A most charming village and lovely shot, David, and everything neat as a pin! I see the thatched cottage at the very back, and you already know I like the more natural look here. What a fabulous and ancient history this place has!
Very nice lighting and I'm with Maria (CavalierLady)...I like the more natural appearance in this photo.
