Hayling Island
Hayling Island is an island just off the south coast of England. It is in the district of Havant in the English county of Hampshire. Being encircled by sea all around the island, there is a road bridge to join the northern end of the island to England at Langstone. Traditionally, a small foot-passenger ferryboat worked to connect it to the Eastney area of the Portsmouth, though it stopped running in March 2015 up until July 2016, being taken control of by a new company. From the 11th century, salt production came to be the primary sector of the island, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and it continued until the late 19th century. St. Peter's Church, the oldest church to exist on the island, offers a substantial amount of history in just one site. With its building and construction starting around 1140 by the monks of Jumieges from Normandy, development continued throughout the centuries. The three bells put up in around 1350 are thought to have one of the oldest peals in England. The churchyard is home to a yew tree asserted to be the country's oldest yew. Estimations reveal that it is at least over a thousand years old. The options for socialising and leisure are also rich on the island. Hayling United F.C. is the island's non-League football club, playing regularly at Hayling Park. In the summer of 2010, Hayling Island Sailing Club hosted the 2010 World Laser Standard Senior and Junior Championships, and Hayling is home to among the few active Real Tennis courts in the UK. Installed in 1911, Seacourt Tennis club is one of a few where every recognised racquet sport can be played.
