Stockbridge
Stockbridge is a town as well as civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. It is among the tiniest communities in the UK with a population of 592 as of the 2011 census. It rests astride the River Test and at the foot of Stockbridge Down. The town is positioned on the A30 road, which once lugged most of the web traffic from London to Dorset, southern Somerset, Devon and Cornwall in the South West, though today this course is lesser than the A303 double carriageway to the north. The bridge over the Test brought about the town's name, a regional tale suggested an instructor quit stocked stipulations, yet it derives from an earlier bridge that was constructed from 'supplies' (tree trunks). Salisbury is 15 miles (24 km) by road; Winchester is 8.3 miles (13.4 kilometres) by the B3049 road that joins the A30 close by. The town's long high street was hence on a helpful route between both medieval cathedral cities. The town's civil church has a location of 1,323 acres (535 ha). The town's road crosses the River Test, noting the border of the churches of Stockbridge and also Longstock by a reduced bridge of 3 arcs rebuilt and also expanded in 1799. Five smaller sized river networks flow with the town. For a quick time, to offer area for fish, these were divided into eight artificial ditches simply above the community. The town is on a common pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.
