Boarhunt (/ˈbɒrənt/) is a village and civil parish in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England, about 2 miles (3 kilometres) north-east of Fareham. The name of the village is a corruption of burh funta, the funta, (stream) by the fort (burh).[1]
History
The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, when there were 27 households.[2] Hall House in Boarhunt was dismantled in 1970 and reconstructed at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in West Sussex in 1981.[3]
Church
The village church is dedicated to St Nicholas; it is almost completely Saxon in its structure with its font probably dating to the same period.[4] The building has been dated as having been constructed in 1064.[5] Further work appears to have taken place in the 13th century.[4] In 1577 a monument to Ralph Henslowe was added to the interior.[4] A general restoration was carried out in 1853 at which point a bell-turret was added and the current furnishings were fitted.[4]
