EXTON
Old English 'East Saxons' farm'. This must mean the farm was inhabited by
people from Essex, but no historical light has been thrown on this yet.

description

Exton
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830

refce: |
Cobbett 1830
CAME from Alresford to Hambledon, through Titchbourne, Cheriton, Beauworth,
Kilmston and Exton. This is all a high, hard, dry, fox-hunting country.
...
Just below you, to the East [from Lomer Beacon], you look down upon the
village of Exton; and you can see up this valley (which is called a Bourne too)
as far as West-Meon, and down it as far as Soberton. ... I had, I think, a full
mile to go down from the top of Beacon Hill to Exton. This is the village where
that Parson Baines lives who, as described by me in 1817, bawled in Lord
Cochrane's ear at Winchester in the month of March of that year.
