| Full Description: The Bugle is situated in the square with the shop of E S Collihole nearby. The market in Titchfield, held in the square, is mentioned in the Domesday Book and a small scale maritime trade was carried on up the old estuary of the Meon, which reached to the town. In 1232, Bishop Peter des Roches founded the abbey, to the north of the town. At the dissolution it passed to Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, in whose family the property remained for over a hundred years. In 1611 the third Earl built a sea wall across the mouth of the estuary, which he drained, save for Titchfield Haven, which still exists today. He also constructed a canal for small barges up to the town to compensate for the loss of the old quays.
By the 18th century, Titchfield's fortunes declined and it became of less importance than Fareham.
The town has a street pattern based on an approximate grid. There is a central cross roads with narrow streets and one wider one, the High Street and former market place leading to the north. The short street east from the cross roads, Church Street, leads to St Peters Church.
