Domesday

In 1086, East Meon was a minster parish, and the Hundred of East Meon covered what are now the parishes of Steep, Froxfield, Privett and Stroud.

Historian Gordon Timmins has analysed the entry for ’Mene’ in the Domesday Book.

In 1986, Hampshire Museums Service and the Sunday Times selected East Meon as the ’Domesday Village’, and an exhibition was mounted at the Great Hall in Winchester. In it, a model was displayed of the village as Edward Roberts and Liz Lewis, HCC curator, envisaged it would have been.
