'Lions' are not the only ones who like it here in Crofton (Roe Deer in the Water treatment Plant on Peel common, Squirrels in the Park, the Fox is resident at Crofton Anne Dale School, and Badgers have a sanctuary in the woods at Seafield Park, Hill Head.)

Just 15 minutes walk from the Pub (Our Club HQ) is the Titchfield Haven, a National Nature Reserve of about 900 acres. Over 170 species of birds have been identified here, along with 19 species of Dragonfly. Its a good place to "get away from it all"!

Homes in Crofton are much like Houses and Bungalows anywhere else in England but, on each of the original approach roads there are echoes of the past.....

Another important part of the past are the buildings that now form the Community Centre and Scout Hall. These were originally part of the Stubbington House School where Captain Scott R.N., the Antarctic Explorer was a pupil from 1879 to 1881.

And even further back in the history of Crofton were the Meonwara Tribe who came from Jutland and settled this area around 642 AD during the Dark Ages. These people have been successfully recreated for us by "Weorod", an Early Medieval re-enactment Group, as part of the Crofton Lions annual "Festival of St. George" (See Events Page)
