SOUTHWICK
Old English/Middle English 'south specialized farm'. 'Wic' often means 'dairy
farm' in particular. Not clear from what perspective it is south. Perhaps from
the fact that it is just south of the Roman road from Chichester to Bitterne -
one of the farms opposite could have been a 'north wick'; or from WANSTEAD FARM,
less than 2 miles ENE. No significant connection with Hambledon, the parish
immediately N, is known.

Southwick, where Holinshed tells us, King Henry VI. was married to Margaret,
the Daughter of Reyner, Duke of Anjou. Humphrey, Lord Stafford, in the Reign of
Edward IV. was entitled Lord Stafford of Southwick, but we are not certain that
he was Lord of the Manor here.
This Village has long been the Seat of the Norton's, a Family very ancient in
this County, and of good Note; for Thomas de Norton was the representative in
Parliament for it, 14th of King Edward III. and in the Sheriffs Rolls there is
scarce any Family in this Shire before them; for John de Norton held that Office
in the 6th of King Edward II. almost 500 Years ago: Robert de Norton, in the
twelfth Year of the same King, and James de Norton the Year after. Several
others of the same Name are also found there.
In the Civil Wars of this Nation, Colonel Norton of this Family, signalized
himself in the Parliament for these Parts, till the Rump usurpt the Sovereignty,
and impiously laid violent Hands upon the King's sacred Person. Richard Norton
Esq; the Owner of this Manor and Seat at present, is a Gentleman of great Worth
and Honour, a Patron of Wit, and Encourager of Learning, and has represented
this County in divers Parliaments.
