Health feels confusing now piersey.com/health-feels-hard-today/ too many voices, too many rules, too much pressure. This post cuts through the noise with honesty, clarity, and grounded advice.
Homewell was most likely named because of the many springs that rise up in this old part of the parish of Havant. As St Faiths Church is in the same area it might be that at one time the water from these-springs was thought to have healing properties.
Artefacts and other remains found close by date back to both Roman and pre Roman times.

Havant (pron.: /ˈhævənt/) is a town in south east Hampshire on the South coast of England, between Portsmouth and Chichester. It gives its name to the borough (population: 116,489) comprising the town and the surrounding area. The town has rapidly grown since the end of the Second World War.
The old centre of the town is on a classic crossroad configuration, with the four streets being named North Street, East Street, South Street and West Street, and St Faith's Church at the crossing. At least one axis (and evidence suggests both) is a known Roman road.
The main shopping centre is called Meridian Shopping (formerly known as the Meridian Centre), as well as a pedestrianised section of West Street. The old town hall now houses the Spring Arts and Heritage Centre (formerly known as Havant Arts Centre). Havant is home to the local community radio station, Angel Radio which specialises in music and memories of the pre-'60s era.
There are several natural springs in the area, including one a short distance south-west of the church on West Street at the end of Homewell. This used to be the home of the premier parchment making facility in Southern England (closing in 1936) which later became a glove making factory and leather processing plant. The Treaty of Versailles was written on Havant parchment.

Not perfect shots, but very quickly taken record shots whilst out shopping.

This enticing stone is set into a wall on Bulbeck Road, Havant. The wall runs along the bottom of several residential properties in Homewell and faces the West Street multi-storey car park.
More information on J Bulbeck would be welcome. I believe him to be the Havant born cricketer John Bulbeck (1818-1888) who played once for Hampshire,

Parchment-making was once an important industry in Havant, recalled by this pub’s name. Havant parchment was used for important treaties, such as the Treaty of Versailles. The town’s parchment was particularly prized for its whiteness, since all other types tended to be yellow. Its unique colour has often been attributed to chalk in the water from Homewell spring, close to this pub. Havant’s last parchment yard closed in 1936.

In this Sunday morning shot, East Street, Havant is seen from West Street. The gates are used to restrict vehicular access at certain times although West Street is pedestrianised west of Homewell anyway. The Bear Hotel is one of the most enduring features in a much ravaged East Street. Streets was an ironmongers which held out for a remarkably long time against the tide of out-of-town DIY store and supermarket competition. I do not especially mourn such things but simply comment upon them. All things change; they do not always change for the better. East Street needs a revival and would look worse than it does were it not for the fairly modern innovation of placing 'shop window posters' in the windows of vacant outlets as seen here in Streets and the two properties on this side of it. Nearer still is Jons Bits and Bobs a wool shop, still extant, which might be feeling a chill wind of change.

This is the not especially safe confluence of North, East, South and West Streets in Havant (with East street left centre in this view). Through traffic passes only between North and East Streets; South Street is used primarily for local access as egress is rather convoluted. West Street has restricted vehicular access at times and then only as far as Homewell beyond which it is pedestrianised. The White Hart is one of the buildings most likely to disappear under proposed plans for significant development of this area.

A chalk spring in Homewell in the centre of Havant, which for many centuries supplied a parchment-making factory.
