Stockbridge
Stockbridge is a small town as well as civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. It is just one of the tiniest communities in the UK with a population of 592 since the 2011 census. It sits astride the River Test and at the foot of Stockbridge Down. The community is located on the A30 road, which as soon as brought the majority of the web traffic from London to Dorset, south Somerset, Devon as well as Cornwall in the South West, though today this path is lesser than the A303 twin carriageway to the north. The bridge over the Test resulted in the town's name, a regional tale recommended a train quit equipped provisions, however it stems from an earlier bridge that was made of 'stocks' (tree trunks). Salisbury is 15 miles (24 km) by road; Winchester is 8.3 miles (13.4 km) by the B3049 road that signs up with the A30 nearby. The community's long high street was therefore on a beneficial path between both medieval cathedral cities. The community's civil church has an area of 1,323 acres (535 ha). The community's road crosses the River Test, marking the border of the churches of Stockbridge and Longstock by a reduced bridge of 3 arches rebuilt as well as broadened in 1799. 5 smaller river channels flow with the community. For a brief time, to supply room for fish, these were split right into 8 synthetic ditches simply above the community. The community gets on a shared pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.
