Situated
some 12 miles north of Portsmouth and six miles south of Petersfield,
Clanfield nestles in a valley to the west of the A3.
The name Clanfield is derived from the Olde English and means "field
clean of weeds". It is clear that Clanfield has
historically been a small farming community centred about the church
of St James, that dates from 1305. The farming community in 1929 recorded
the population as 129, by the late 1940's almost 500, and in 1998
over 4500, with almost 1700 households.
Since the late 1940's, Clanfield has changed out of all recognition.
The sleepy village of yesteryear is now a community on the urban fringe;
it still has that village atmosphere but is now close enough to the
bigger towns and cities to be influenced by them - two identities
- Olde and New Clanfield. |

Hi,
my name is Ian Dickson, I have been gathering, recording and sharing
live weather here since February 2004.
I have been using the Davis Vantage Pro wireless weather station (this
is mine shown here) coupled with a solar sensor. The Davis
Vantage Pro sends data back to a base station using the latest wireless
technology.
This data is then fed directly into some fantastic third party software
called Weather Display (written by Brian Hamilton)
and finally uploaded to the internet to provide the live data, graphs
and forecasts shown here. Thank you for visiting... please feel free
to sign my guest book. |
