Fareham manor of the Bishop of Winchester

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Cheney Court

In the civil parish of Fareham. In the historic county of Hampshire (Modern Authority of Hampshire, 1974 county of Hampshire).

Listed by Thompson as a residential manor of the Bishop of Winchester. Emery writes "Thick stone wall incorporated in Roche Court a mile north of Fareham." and associates this house with the Bishop's manor. However, the VCH makes it clear that this was not Bishops manor, the actual location of which is lost but was in South Fareham; either near the church or a lodge in the deer park (SU550072), although the given reference is the approximate location identified by Payne.

The Ordnance Survey Map Grid Reference is SU575066
