Colbury is a small village in the New Forest National Park, in Hampshire, England. The village lies along Deerleap Lane, [2] near the modern village of Ashurst.
The name Colbury is derived from Middle English for "Cola's manor", [3] and near Colbury is an estate called Langley which was held by "Cola the Hunter" in the Domesday Book of 1086. [4] The manor of Colbury was given to the Abbot of Beaulieu by Robert de Punchardon sometime in the 13th century. [2] A grant of free warren in the manor was made in 1359–60 to the Abbot and convent of Beaulieu. [2] Successive abbots remained in possession of the manor until the dissolution of the abbey in April 1538, when it passed to the Crown. [2] It was purchased in 1544 by John Mill and his son John. The elder John died in 1551 and the younger John was succeeded by his son Lewknor. [2] He died in November 1587, and his son Lewknor died in the following month, leaving John his brother and heir. [2] John was created a baronet in 1619, and the manor descended with the Mill Baronets until the death of the last baronet in 1835. [2]
The site of the Colbury Manor House is about a mile to the northeast of Colbury village, close to the village of Eling. [5] The house which is now there is modern, and no trace of ancient buildings survive. [5]
Colbury was for centuries a tithing in Eling parish. Its population in 1870 was 341 people. [6] The church in Colbury, called Christ Church, was built in 1870 by Benjamin Ferrey. [7]
The civil parish of Colbury was one of the parishes created out of the ancient parish of Eling in 1894. [2] Colbury parish was abolished in 1934 when 4722 acres were transferred to the parish of Denny Lodge and 750 acres were transferred to Totton and Eling. [8] The modern parish of Ashurst and Colbury was created in 1985, but administers a much small area than the old Colbury parish.
The village has a hall built in 1928 as a memorial to the First World War. [9]
