Semington is an old settlement. We know that people have lived here since at least the 12th century. Romano-British pottery fragments have been found near Whaddon and evidence of Bronze Age settlements were discovered in 2021 in fields adjacent to St George’s Road. Prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, parish land belonged to Romsey Abbey. It was then acquired by Sir Thomas Seymour and was forfeited to the Crown in 1549 when he was executed for treason.
