Cams Hall History
For many centuries this was one of Fareham's most
stately residences and a manor house is recorded at Cams Hall as far back as the
13th Century.
In the early 18th Century a new building was created
on the estate and in 1781 it was purchased by the Delme family. They moved
across Fareham from Place House (now Titchfield Abbey) to occupy the mansion and
then spent a small fortune on part-rebuilding and enlarging the house. This
superb mansion was known locally as Cams Hall and remained in the hands of the
Delme Family for over 100 years
Cams Hall has a superb setting, with outstanding
views to Portsmouth Harbour, and the approach is by an impressively long drive
which in those days passed through extensive and immaculate grounds.
Sadly the Delme family's male heirs died out and the
last one decided to sell up. Montague Foster bought the estate and rented it out
to a number of tenants. It was sold again in 1895 and then had several owners,
even being used by the Admiralty during the 2nd World War. During the 1950's a
caravan park was started there and the land was farmed by the Hill family for a
number of years. During this period the buildings fell into disrepair and the
house became very dilapidated. When a new owner was killed in a plane crash,
Strand Harbour Securities took over the estate and an extensive period of
renovation took place. |
