    NAME Wherwell PARISH Wherwell HUNDRED Wherwell DISTRICT Test Valley NGR SU 389408 GEOLOGY Upper chalk and alluvium SITE CONTEXT The village lies on the NW bank of the River Test, mainly on the lower slopes of the steep valley side but with some houses actually on the flood plain alongside the river. The 50m contour runs through the settlement almost along the line of the SW-NE road. To the NW the valley side rises sharply to over 90m OD. PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION Composite. Regular rows and irregular row. Within the plan of Wherwell several blocks of regular rows are obvious. On the SE side of the river alongside the lane that leads to the church there is a block of three plots of equal size with a thinner and shorter plot along the river bank. On the N side of the lane there are two units with shorter tofts, the E unit appearing to be later than the W unit as it overlaps the W unit along the rear boundary. On the NW side of the river and on the N side of the lane to the church there are the remains of another regular row, the rear boundary of which curves round to continue as the rear boundary of some of the plots along the main street through the village. Opposite the junction of Church Street and the main road on the NW side of the road there in another regular row which appears to have had some of its plots amalgamated. The rear boundary continues either side of the row but bounds empty, open fields except for a very small plot in the N field.

  • The Middleton Estate
    WELCOME TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE Dear Angler, Welcome to the Middleton Estate! By now I hope you are settled and are relaxing with a cup of coffee. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. THE RIVER TEST The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and flows through the Hampshire downlands from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning into a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through the villages of Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed, then through the grounds of Roke Manor before reaching the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton.

  • Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish And
    Issue No. 247 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p April 2021 Happy Easter Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott April 2021 Dear Friends, April is upon us, the gateway to spring can, of course, be very mixed with hail and even snow, whilst at other times we may bask in warm sunshine, and often we can experience all four seasons in one day! Day by day the polyphony of morning birdsong increases and we cannot but notice the garden waking up with fresh buds and plants, all of which I find quite exciting. The new life and new beginnings that April speaks of, is something very relevant to us all as we begin to embrace change and adapt to life after Covid in anticipation of lockdown being eased. Life, new beginnings and hope are also central themes of the Easter story. Christian hope is not rooted in a distant or romantic past, remembering a one off event two thousand years ago. Easter faith is prophetically grounded in the here and now as the death and resurrection of Jesus spans across time and space and speaks to us today. If we look about our world today, we can see the tragic consequences of the Pandemic across our planet, and indeed our own nation, we also note the human condition is very much alive as our broken humanity continues to inflict war and violence on other human beings. In all these situations, Holy week and the Passion of Christ points to the opportunity of life transformed, redeemed and transfigured; Easter life.
