The fact that Fareham (Fernham, Ferham) formed See also:part of the See also:original endowment of the see of See also:Winchester fixes its existence certainly as See also:early as the 9th century. It is mentioned in the Domesday Survey as subject to a reduced See also:assessment on See also:account of its exposed position and liability to Danish attacks. There is evidence to show that Fareham had become a See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)

borough before 1264, but no See also:charter can be found. It was a See also:mesne borough held of the See also:bishop of Winchester, but it is probable that during the 8th century the privileges of the burgesses were allowed to See also:lapse, as by 1$35 it had ceased to be a borough. Fareham returned two members to the See also:parliament of 1306, but two years later it petitioned against See also:representation on the ground of expense. A See also:fair on the 31St of See also:October and the two following days was held under See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

It was abolished in 187f. Fare-See also:ham owed its importance in See also:medieval times to its facilities for See also:commerce. It was a See also:free port and had a considerable trade in See also:wool and See also:wine. Later its See also:shipping declined and in the 16th century it was little more than a fishing See also:village. Its commercial prosperity in See also:modern times is due to its nearness to Portsmouth.
