Highfield Hall is a fine example of a Victorian residence built by Josiah Reynolds Neave during the mid 19th Century, a member of a local Quaker family who did much to expand the family milling business, one of the major employers in Fordingbridge which benefited greatly from the arrival of the railway in the mid­1860s.
