There is very little written about North Baddesley prior to the history of North Baddesley which was written and published by John Marsh in 1808. John Marsh was the curate of St. John’s Church, Flexford Road.

Titled the MEMORANDA OF THE PARISH AND MANOR OF NORTH BADDESLEY it was dedicated to Sir Nathaniel Holland Bart, the owner of the Manor at the time.

The book has been reproduced from the original by the North Baddesley Historical Society
