Hi John I think it is Wickham Heath which is near Wickham in the South Stoneham parish. Wickham is featured on our website, and is a few miles due north of Portsmouth. There are two Stonehams, North and South by the way. North Stoneham is to the North of Southampton and comes down as far as Eastleigh while South Stoneham carries on from Swaythling eastwards.
