## History

The local [parish church](/source/Parish_church), St Peter's is a mid 12th century [Norman](/source/Norman_architecture) church.[1][2] After the [Norman Conquest](/source/Norman_Conquest), the lands and properties of North Hayling were feued from the Bishop of Winchester to [Jumièges Abbey](/source/Jumi%C3%A8ges_Abbey) in Normandy. By 1140, the abbey had paid for St Peters church to be built for the local community. The church has three bells, cast around 1350.[2]

[Princess Catherine Yurievskaya](/source/Catherine_Yurievskaya) (1878-1959), a daughter of [Alexander II of Russia](/source/Alexander_II_of_Russia), is buried in the graveyard of St Peters.

In 1694, it was reported that 30 villagers subscribed three guineas each to fight [France](/source/France) in the [Nine Years' War](/source/Nine_Years'_War).[1]

[North Hayling railway station](/source/North_Hayling_railway_station) was a railway station to the west of the village that opened in 1867 and closed in 1963.[3]
