Hayling Island Ramble, Saturday 11th March
Thirty ramblers joined Kevin and Janice Fearn
for the final walk of this rambling season.
Setting off from the pub car park, we walked
over the bridge onto Hayling Island and around
Northney.
A second stop for coffee overlooking the water,
and then it was back to the Ship Inn for lunch.
Thanks to everyone who joined us - see you in
the autumn.
The highlight of our walk was the church of St
Peter’s, built by monks of the Abbey of
Jumieges, Normandy, in 1140, close to the site
of an Iron Age shrine, later the site of a Roman
temple. Some of St Peter’s interior pillars stand
on roughly hewn stones taken from the Roman
temple. A handful of our bravest ventured
inside to the back pew, in search of the ghost
of a sailor, drowned whilst crossing the
Wadeway in a storm.
