Nursling is a village in the civil parish of Nursling and Rownhams, in the Test Valley district, in Hampshire, England, about 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) north-west of the city of Southampton. Formerly called Nhutscelle (in an 8th-century life of Saint Boniface), then Nutsall,[2] Nutshalling or Nutshullyng [3] until the mid-19th century, it has now been absorbed into the suburbs of Southampton, although it is not part of the district of Southampton (remaining part of the Test Valley borough).
