History


The name "Blackfields" was originally applied to an area of countryside near the village of Fawley, and there is still a Blackwell Common next to Blackfield.[1] The name presumably derives from the soil colour, some of which is marshy and black.[1] The settlement of Blackfield began in the late 19th century when, at first mud cottages, and then later, small red-brick houses were built in the area of moorland once known as Hugh's Common.[2] It was close to the small village of Langley.


Sport and leisure


Blackfield has a Non-League football club Blackfield & Langley F.C., which plays at The Gang Warily Community & Recreation Centre.

In 2020, Hampshire County Council announced plans to close the village library. [3]
