As a parish we are incredibly proud that HRH Prince Philip visited Netley.
He spent several school holidays during his teenage years as a guest of Colonel Richard Crichton at Fishponds, Fountains Park. 

We learned of this information from the Netley History Society and if you are interested in learning more, you can visit their website here.
