A MOVEMENT that started in mainland Europe, was piloted in 1992 by local historian Lesley Burton and the Gosport Society has mushroomed nationally and led ultimately to the launch in Winchester of a new organization, the Hampshire History Trust (HHT). Spearheaded by Nicky Gottlieb and Becky Brown, it started five years ago as the Winchester Heritage Open Day (actually growing to 10 days), which was so successful that it has now triggered a much more ambitious plan to create a county-wide, history-based organization.

There are also one-offs, like the chapel of the Countess of Huntingdon’s Congregation at Mortimer West End and an indeterminate Old Meeting House at Ringwood. In the early years there were as many as 20 ‘separatists’, such as the Grindletonians, Levellers, Muggletonians and Brownists. Some of these congregations endure, like the Baptists, who owe their origins to an Englishman in Amsterdam in 1609. Others have combined, like the Presbyterians and Congregationalists who in 1972 formed the United Reformed Chur ....
