Titchfield was previously an important medieval market town. Its prosperity was thanks to commercial activities and the presence of the nearby abbey. Today, Titchfield is a conservation area; with many historic buildings (some dating from as far back as the 15th century). Titchfield Village consists of numerous shops, public houses, and residential properties.

A few miles to the south of the village and at the mouth of the River Meon is Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve. Here lies a small harbour. Inland, is a Nature Reserve providing a safe haven and important breeding ground for many species of birds. In close proximity to the village is Titchfield Canal and it has been suggested this is one of the oldest canals in England.

Titchfield Abbey was founded is 1222 and was dissolved in the 16th century by Henry VIII who gave ownership to the favoured politician Thomas Wriothesley. Wriothesley's relatives resided at the property until 1742. Much of the building was subsequently demolished to create a “romantic ruin”. During this time, local residents took some of the stone and incorporated this into their homes. Evidence of this can still be found in various local buildings today. The remains of Titchfield Abbey are now overseen by English Heritage.
