Titchfield Abbey was founded in 1232 and repressed by Henry VIII in the 1530s. It was sold and the new owner built a manor house with a gate house that used the church's nave. 

Fort Brockhurst was built in the 19th century and is pretty much unchanged. It's a NFZ and they want 36 GBP to unlock it. 

Portchester Castle reuses Roman walls from 280 AD when building the new stone keep in 1120. It is seven floors high. In the outer bailey is St. Mary's church that shouldn't be missed when visited. 

Southwick Priory on the other hand consists of one wall of the refectory and is no must see.
