Hayling Island
Hayling Island is an island off the south coast of England, in the borough of Havant in the county of Hampshire, near Portsmouth.
History
An iron-age shrine in the north of Hayling Island was later developed into a Roman temple in the first century BC and was first recorded in Richard Scott's Topographical and Historical Account of Hayling Island, published in 1826. The site was excavated between 1897 and 1907 and again from 1976 to 1978. Remains are no longer visible and are buried beneath cultivated farmland.
Salt production was an industry on the island from the 11th century (the Domesday Book records a saltpan on the island for this purpose) until the late 19th century.
Construction of Northwode Chapel by the monks of Jumièges, Normandy, began in about 1140; this became the present St Peter's Church and is now the oldest surviving church on the Island. It has been claimed that St Peter's three bells, cast in about 1350, have one of the oldest peals in England. St Mary's Church is a standard design of the churches of its era, but upon close examination the walls have been constructed from a mortar of local shells and beach pebbles. The ancient yew tree in the churchyard is believed to be the oldest yew in the country, with a girth of some nine metres. Although estimates as to its age vary, they range from over a thousand to nearly two thousand years old.

How Long?
by: Rod StewartHow long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long baby?
Oh, your friends and their gentle persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
Tell me honey
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on,
going on, going on?
how long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on,
going on, going on, going on?
How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on, going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on?
You been treaten me mad you been treaten me bad
and it's been going on, going on, going on
I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
I ain't quite the fool you mean
but it's been going on, going on, going on, going on.
