Notes: compiled and drawn by C.C. Singleton for Hazelbrook Sights Committee.

According to Bernard Schleicher's notes on the history of the Hazelbrook Reserves Trust (1968), Alston Park Motor Camp was established mid 1930s. In 1940 the Forestry Dept granted a timber cutting licence for an area north of Horseshoe Falls Reserve. This 'caused great indignation among the Trustees and other residents', protests resulted in the licence being cancelled. The trustees then successfully applied to the Lands Dept to have the northern area (300 acres) added to the reserve and it was proclaimed in 1941. This is shown on the map as Sights Committee Reserve, north of Hazelbrook Creek. The vehicle access road to Terrace Falls Reserve from the end of Valley Road was constructed in 1946.

A map of Warner Wetlands within the Warner Valley.

 

Formed thousands of years ago when gigantic faults in the earth’s crust shifted, today’s Warner Wetlands Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) is a 40-mile chain of lakes separated by a unique series of bow-shaped dunes. Each spring and fall, thousands of birds visit the wetlands during their annual migrations.

 

Recreation facilities include the Hart Bar Interpretive Site, Warner Valley Overlook, and the Warner Valley Canoe Trail. The interpretive site has restrooms, a sheltered picnic table, interpretive panels, and a 0.25 mile hiking trail to wildlife viewing blinds. The Warner Valley Overlook affords a panoramic overview of the wetlands with the desert buttes to the west and south.

 

Directions to the Site:

From Lakeview, Oregon, travel north on U.S. Highway 395 for six miles, and turn east on Highway 140 for approximately 14 miles to County Road 3-13, known locally as the Plush Cutoff Road. Travel on this road for 15 miles to Plush, Oregon. From Plush, travel north for 0.8 miles, and turn east on County Road 3-12. Drive approximately four miles to the Hart Bar Interpretive Site, located at the base of Hart Mountain.

Location and Site

Situated to the north of the M27 and just northern edge of Chilworth Old Village, off the road to N Baddesley.

 

Historic Development

The history of manorial lands at Chilworth can be traced from the time of the Domesday survey. Maps of the 16th and 17th century show deer parks on the land, but do not show any house. An estate map of 1755 is the earliest indication of there being a house on the site of the present manor, and beside it is marked “Garden”. It has not been possible to establish when this house was built, nor whether the vaulted cellars under the west side of the present house were part of it. No other map shows any buildings until the survey for the 1” OS made in 1806, although in 1801, there is a contemporary reference to Chilworth, the seat of P Searle Esq “where the house is not seen from the road”

 

In mid 19th century Chilworth House was owned by John Browne Willis Fleming, a big landowner in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, whose principal residence was North Stoneham; Chilworth House was let to tenants. A schedule of letting to Richard Pink in 1863 and map of an area of 35.5 acres, shows the layout of the grounds at that time. It includes a substantial house, adjacent farm buildings, a large open lawn (today the ecology meadow), a pond, woodland, a pleasure garden in front of the house, and a ‘new’ garden (later the walled garden). There is a driveway to the Southampton road passing two round lodges (LB II) , another to the village, a circular path round the open lawn, and a road from the adjacent farm to the Southampton road. In 1870 John Browne Willis Fleming and his wife Ida lived at Chilworth, John died two years later, his wife re-married and continued to live at Chilworth until 1890. Some alterations were made to the grounds but the general layout did not change.

 

In 1893 John and Ida’s son, John Edward Arthur Willis Fleming, married and took up residence at Chilworth, they made changes to the garden near the house, and planted an avenue of lime trees across the big field south of the farm buildings, a deer ring of Thuja plicata, and other trees In 1979 35 trees of exceptional merit were identified by Alan Mitchell. John Fleming and his son also substantially rebuilt and enlarged the house, which was re-named Chilworth Manor. From 1913 -25 Chilworth Manor was again leased and parts of the estate were sold. Longsters Nurseries worked land north of the walled garden from c.1927 until 1939. During WWII the grounds were requisitioned and made into an army camp. In 1946 the Willis Flemings sold Chilworth Manor and approximately 90 acres to Mr John Malcolm Young, who set up a company Unity Heating, and lived with his family in the house; they made only small alterations to the layout of the garden.

 

In 1964 the University of Southampton bought the house and approximately 100 acres of land for a hall of residence. The walled garden was used by the Biology Department, and the factory building by ISVR and the Engineering Departments; all the grounds were maintained by the Sites and Buildings Department; later, land to the south was taken for the M27. By 1978 the Manor had not proved suitable for a hall of residence and was re-developed as a hotel and conference centre, buildings were erected in the former large open field to the south forming a Science Park.

 

Current Description

A Chilworth Conservation Area was set up in 1989 covering an area of 27 acres of ancient and secondary woodland and unimproved meadow, to be maintained by a Management Committee and voluntary labour. The Science Park has been landscaped and the double avenue of limes renovated. The remainder of the grounds of 12½ acres are maintained by the hotel.

 

Summary

Victorian landscaped park fashioned from a much older deer park. Owned until 1946 by the Willis Fleming family, house brick built in stages and garden developed. Now a hotel, conference centre and University of Southampton Science Park. Fine views of gardens, lake, collection of specimen trees and a Nature Conservation area.

Pretty Girl Shot Dead - Man in Living Tomb

 

"It was a veritable sylvan glade in which the girl's murdered body was found, in surroundings dedicated to the elves, fairies and the spirits of the trees, with a rippling brook tricking past a sward of rich green fringed and touched with colour by flowering lantana bushes.

 

It was here that Reginald Vaughan chose to end the life of the girl he loved - into this peaceful have he drove her in a motor car, his brain unbalanced. As the rays of the headlights shot across the sylvan landscape a cloud was descending upon his mind, which soon was to travel down the lanes of darkness.

 

The car sped on. Presently it stopped and the two lovers sat on the running board. Then Vaughan shot Cecilia - shot her dead.

 

What they talked of on that fatal journey no one but Vaughan knows. The mouth of one is sealved for ever; that of the other gibbers meaningless things in a ward where are kept in confinement those who are certified as insane."
