About Waterlooville
Waterlooville and Cowplain did not exist before the year 1815. Before then it was part of the forest of Bere, which stretched from the Sussex border of Winchester. Today Queens enclosure is one of the last remnants of the forest. On the southern fringe of the forest was the little village of Purbrook. Its name is a corruption of Pucan brook which means the brook of the water spirit. North of it was Horndean. That is a corruption of Heaman denu or doormouse valley. Also nearby was Denmead. It was originally called Denu mead which means the meadow in the valley
