Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAVANT , a market-town in the Fareham parliamentary division of
Hampshire
 , England, 67 m. S.W. from London by the London &
South
  Western and the London, Brighton &
South
 
Coast
  railways. Pop. of urban
district
  (tool), 3837 The urban
district
  of Warblington, 1 m. S.E. (pop. 3639), has a fine church, Norman and later, with traces of pre-Norman
work
 , and some remains of a Tudor castle. Havant lies in a flat coastal district, near the head of Langstone Harbour, a wide shallow inlet of the English Channel. The church of St Faith was largely rebuilt in 1875, but retains some good Early English
work
 . There are breweries and tanneries, and the manufacture of parchment is carried on. Off the mainland near Havant lies Hayling, a flat
island
  of irregular form lying between the harbours of Langstone and Chichester. It
measures
  4 M. in length from N. to S., and is nearly the same in breadth at the south, but the breadth generally is about i m. It is well wooded and fertile. A railway serves the
village
  of South Hayling, which is in some
favour as a seaside resort, having a wide sandy
beach
  and good golf links. The
island
  was in the possession of successive religious bodies from the Conquest (when it was given to the Benedictines of Jumieges, near .Rouen), until the Dissolution. The church of South Hayling is a fine Early English building.
