Wymering was one of the estates held by Hampshire's biggest landowner Edward the Confessor immediately before the Norman conquest. [1]
In addition to the mediaeval church, one building that did remain is Wymering Manor. The manor is the oldest building in Portsmouth. It has been a Youth Hostel in its past but is now unoccupied and is reputed to be haunted.
