St Mary's and All Saints Church, Droxford

Highlight • Historical Site

Droxford is a thriving, beautiful historic village located in the Meon valley. Droxford is first recorded in history when the Manor of Drocenesforda (Droxford) was granted to the Prior and monks of St. Swithun, Winchester, by King Egbert in 826. It has good access to the Meon Valley Trail. Its St Mary's and all Saints church dates back to Norman times.

In June 1944 Droxford railway station was used by Winston Churchill as his base during preparations for the Normandy Landings and imminent D-Day invasion. Based in an armoured train carriage parked in the sidings at Droxford, Churchill met with numerous ministers, military commanders and leaders of allied nations.
