About Fencing in Andover
Andover in Hampshire has roots reaching back to the Iron Age, and the settlement enters recorded history in 950 AD, when the king built a royal hunting lodge there, marking Andover out as a place of some importance even in Saxon times. A fire in 1435 destroyed much of the medieval town, but the rebuilding that followed produced a new marketplace and a Guildhall with a covered market beneath it, and the town was granted an annual fair to go alongside its established weekly market. Andover's position on major coaching routes to London, Southampton and Oxford brought steady prosperity through the 18th century, and though the town's designation as a London overspill development in the 1950s introduced some insensitive modern building, much of its historic character survives alongside the newer amenities.
