Stockbridge
Stockbridge is a town as well as civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. It is among the tiniest towns in the United Kingdom with a population of 592 as of the 2011 census. It rests astride the River Test as well as at the foot of Stockbridge Down. The community is located on the A30 road, which when lugged the majority of the traffic from London to Dorset, south Somerset, Devon and also Cornwall in the South West, though today this course is less important than the A303 dual carriageway to the north. The bridge over the Test resulted in the community's name, a local tale suggested a trainer quit stocked arrangements, however it stems from an earlier bridge that was constructed from 'stocks' (tree trunks). Salisbury is 15 miles (24 kilometres) by road; Winchester is 8.3 miles (13.4 km) by the B3049 road that signs up with the A30 close by. The community's long high road was hence on a valuable course in between both medieval cathedral cities. The town's civil church has a location of 1,323 acres (535 ha). The community's street goes across the River Test, marking the border of the churches of Stockbridge and also Longstock by a reduced bridge of three arches rebuilt and also expanded in 1799. 5 smaller river networks flow with the town. For a short time, to provide room for fish, these were divided into eight man-made ditches simply above the town. The community gets on a common pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.
