HYTHE, a chapelry in the parish of FAWLBY, in
that part of the hundred of BISHOPS-WALTHAM which
is in the New Forest (East) division of the county of
SOUTHAMPTON, 3 miles (S.) from Southampton. The
population is returned with Fawley. This place is very
agreeably situated on the bank of the Southampton
water, opposite to that town, with which a constant
communication is kept up by means of passage-boats.
Here are numerous respectable houses, and an extensive
yard for ship-building. The chapel, which was built a
few years ago, contains four hundred and fifty-seven
sittings, of which two hundred and forty-six are free,
the Incorporated Society for the enlargement of churches
arid chapels having granted £300 towards defraying the
expense.
