Shamblehurst

Shamblehurst, also known as Sandhust, was a manor and tithing within the ancient parish of South Stoneham, now in the modern-day Borough of Eastleigh. It had Allington tithing to the north and Botley and Durley parishes to the east.[1]

Most of the village of West End, including the Union Workhouse, was situated in the Shamblehurst tithing with a small part of it falling within Allington. Shamblehurst contained three farms- Shamblehurst, Flanders and Botley Grange; two mills - Woodmill in modern-day Swaythling and the Stoneham Paper Mill in modern Mansbridge; and several country houses including Townhill Park and Thornhill Park.[2]
