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 enveloped 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 link it to the Eastney region of the Portsmouth, although it stopped running in March 2015 up until July 2016, being taken over by a new service provider. From the 11th century, salt production emerged as the major industry 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, provides a significant amount of history in just one place. With its construction commencing around 1140 by the monks of Jumieges from Normandy, progression continued throughout the centuries. The 3 bells put up in around 1350 are presumed to have among 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 possibilities for socialising and leisure are similarly 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 one of the few active Real Tennis courts in the UK. Constructed in 1911, Seacourt Tennis club is one of a couple where every recognised racquet sport can be played.
