[2] In 1424, Ralph Chamberlayne's wife Alice inherited an estate on the east bank of the River Itchen.

[2] What that estate contained, how it subsequently changed hands and was split-up is not clear, but at least part of it remained connected with the Chamberlayne family as in 1781, William Chamberlayne inherited what was then the Weston Park Estate from Thomas Dummer.

[2] His son,[2] William Chamberlayne, later to become MP for the Southampton, inherited the estate on the death of his father in 1799.

The Barnfield estate was situated between Weston Grove House and the Mayfield estate and is shown on the 1864 Ordnance Survey map (NC/03/17984)[2] Denzil Chamberlayne, eldest son of Thomas Chamberlayne, took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade.

He died in 1924[2] leaving a daughter, Penelope Mary Alexandra Chamberlayne, who married Major Nigel Donald Peter Macdonald (son of Sir Godfrey Middleton Bosville Macdonald of the Isles (15th Baronet)), changing their surname to "Chamberlayne-Macdonald".

A number of the larger houses in Southampton were used to treat wounded soldiers during World War I.

The Royal Navy also had a large site between Archery Road and the waterfront, on land that was originally part of the Weston Grove estate.

[4] Built in 1917, this building was half a mile long and was originally used as a rolling mill, to produce brass strip that was used to make small calibre shell cases.

[2] In 1909, an act of Parliament required that 189 acres (0.76 km2) of land be sold to London and South Western Railway, by Tankerville Chamberlayne, for the purpose of building an enormous dry dock some 1,600 ft long (490 m).

This stretch of shoreline was closed to the public and packed with troops, equipment and landing craft in the build-up to D-day and in the subsequent re-supply operations.

[10] After some delay because of council planning issues and funding, the club was granted land at Abbey Hill in 1968, and built a clubhouse there.
