Longparish, Hampshire

What's New?

Well, quite clearly, there is something afoot. There is a search option at the top, where you can search for something on this site. The site's frames have been removed, so that every page stands on its own. This means that you can send links directly into the site (instead of a convoluted message along the lines of "click here, then find this link then click...". There is likely to be some site reorganisation in the near future, so it's probably not a good time to spend hours making a list of bookmarks.

Apart from that, I've tried to make it easier to write your own stylesheet if you need to do that for accessibility. There will be more details about that shortly. If you need to know urgently, contact me (see next paragraph for details).

I am just about to start uploading the entire site, so things might well be a bit of a bugger's muddle for a while. If, after this paragraph has disappeared, you still find pages that are clearly broken, please let me (David Gould) know either by using the contact button at the top or sending a message to the webmaster.

This is where we try to keep you up to date with news of what's happening and new stuff on the web site.

Cartoon runnersL2SOTM

The Longparish Second Sunday of the Month handicap running race

An excellent race on 10 December. The handicap system worked well and there were 10 finishers within two minutes. The prizes for the most improved runners went to Rob Biggs and Fiona Gould. The results, more information about the race and the entry form are in the L2SOTM area in the Longparish Community Association events pages. The next race is on Sunday 14 January starting at 10am at the Cricket Ground. Anyone who has a New Year resolution to do a bit more exercise will be particularly welcome. The handicap system means that the slowest have us much chance of winning the cups as the fastest.

Where is Longparish?

You can see some maps of the area at different scales by following the link 'How to find Longparish' in the menu. If you are still puzzled, "Southern England" (the first map) is the bottom quarter of that little island to the top left of Europe.

The Quick Tour

You can find out about Longparish in the Village Handbook's History and Environment sections.

Photo Gallery

We will gradually be adding photos to this part of the site. If anybody has any (new or old) that they could let us have, we'd be pleased to see them. Obviously digital is the easiest, but we can scan in prints as well.

This section explains the responsibilities of the Parish Council and gives you contact details for members, as well as dates, agendas and minutes of council meetings. You can also access items of general village interest such as the Design Statement and the Community Project, in this section.

Local Services and Organisations

In this part of the site you should be able to find a substantial amount of information on such things as local government, and how it impacts on Longparish, as well as details about the church, schooling, shops and pubs, and many organisations that operate in or around the village.

Lychgate and St. Nicholas Church
