Monks first settled in the Sinah in the 15th century, but were displaced in the 16th century when the rights were sold to the Duke of Norfolk. A fishing community grew during the 1800s.
During the Second World War, Hayling Island served as a military base that was crucial in defending the Portsmouth region as well as preparing for the D-Day operations. When visiting the island, you will find lots of remaining battlements.
