Portchester Castle - Saint Mary’s Church and graveyard
Another impromptu video from my brief visit to Portchester a few weeks ago. Had it not been raining that day I probably would have done more filming around other areas, not just Portchester. This video is a walk about at the church and graveyard in The grounds of Portchester Castle. It is still an active church and it appears that people still get buried in the grounds too.
If you would like me to make sure videos like this, then comment below and I will do my best to accommodate requests. The two YouTubers I mention in the video are linked below, so please do go and check them out!
A brief outline of The History of St Mary’s Parish Church
This church is of great simplicity and beauty, built in the 1120s of Isle of Wight stone by Normans. It was given by Henry 1 to a small community of Augustinian or Austin canons (monks.) Their seats in the chancel with arched recesses may still be seen. Their priory buildings that once stretched south to the Roman wall have completely disappeared. The canons moved some four miles away to Southwick for a more quiet life after some 20 years but sent a canon till the Reformation in the 1530s to serve this parish.
The Norman west door is a wonderful example of Norman stonework with a variety of patterns and other devices; it is very popular with photographers and artists. Through the Victorian vestibule into the church is the 12th Century font, carved in Caen limestone with a modern base. On this north side is a large plaque, illustrated, commemorating a grant of £400 from Queen Anne in 1710 to repair the church after its misuse by Dutch prisoners of war from the 1660s.The First World War memorial commemorated military deaths as do many other memorials, often to naval officers and their families.

Roman Origins of Portchester Castle
While on the Isle of Wight, David and Mariza investigate the fascinating remains of Brading Roman Villa, a country home built at a time when the island was called Vectis. Then it is back over the channel to Portchester, where they visit the magnificent castle, which was originally a Roman fort. David talks about the renegade general Caurasius, who had the fortress built. Lastly, at nearby Fishbourne, they explore the ruins of a palace, which was once the home of a Celtic ruler.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about Brading Roman Villa, #Portchestercastle, and the Fishbourne Palace as much as we enjoyed making it.

Portchester Castle
Myself and good friend Charlotte recently visited Portchester Castle on the South Coast. Portchester Castle is a medieval castle built within a former Roman fort at Portchester to the east of Fareham in the English county of Hampshire. It is located at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour. We spent some time in the castle keep with a couple of cameras and my usual Sony ICD-16 while the recorder was running it did pick up quite a number of EVP's I have added this one as a first of a few recordings because it sounds pretty peculiar. Personally I can hear a voice at the beginning of the recording and then at the end it sounds like a male voice talking through a bucket. To me it sounds like the male is saying Can you help me

Portchester Castle and St Marys Church, Church Lane, Portchester, Fareham, Hampshire. ( 3 )
On the 6th July 2018 I made the trip to Fareham, again the day was sunny and very hot. First call was Fort Nelson at Portsdown Hill road, Fareham, PO17 6AN. Then onto Portchester Castle which is a medieval castle built within a former Roman fort at Portchester to the east of Fareham in Hampshire. It is located at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour. Believed to have been founded in the late 11th century, Portchester was a baronial castle taken under royal control in 1154. The monarchy controlled the castle for several centuries and it was a favoured hunting lodge of King John. It was besieged and captured by the French in 1216 before returning to English control shortly thereafter. The castle was great to walk about in. The grounds along with the keep are no longer pristine but bear the ravages of many years of wear and tear. The view from the top of the keep if you can manage all the stairs up is panoramic and beautiful view around Portsmouth Harbour and the surrounding villages.
Occupying a commanding position at the head of Portsmouth Harbour, when in the medieval period Portchester was an important port. The castle saw the disembarkation for several campaigns to France led by England's kings. In anticipation of a French invasion during the first quarter of the 14th century, Edward II spent £1,100 repairing and reinforcing Portchester Castle. From the late 17th century onwards this became Portchester's most important function of a prison. In 1665, 500 prisoners from the Second Anglo-Dutch War ( 1665–1667 ) were held at the castle. Some were housed in St Marys church in the outer bailey. They damaged the building by setting it on fire.
It was last used in the 19th century as a gaol for over 7,000 French prisoners of the Napoleonic Wars. Hospital Lane ( formerly Seagates Lane ), which flanks the western side of the castle, was the location of the prison hospital which survives today as Portchester House, a private residence. Those that died in captivity were often buried in what are now tidal mudflats to the south of the castle, their remains occasionally disturbed by storms. Today Portchester Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument,and a Grade I listed building. The castle has been in the ownership of the Southwick Estate since the 17th century but is now managed by English Heritage and open to visitors throughout the year.
The Norman church, St. Mary's, which stands in the south-east corner of the grounds, falls within the Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth. This church was built within the walls of Portchester Castle. It was built for a priory of Augustinian canons founded in about 1128 by Henry I. Built soon after 1130, the church is largely complete. It has hardly been altered since. The priory was removed to Southwick by 1150, possibly because the castle lacked space. The cloister lay to the south, between the church and the fort walls, but has been completely demolished. Fire damage to the building by Dutch prisoners in 1653 was finally repaired by Queen Anne's Bounty in 1706-10. Queen Anne's Bounty was an act to give more money to poor clergy and churches. The building was restored in 1888. Attached to this church is a small cafe where you can get reasonable priced homemade cakes and coffee or tea.
