Overview

The village of Harbridge is at the edge of the low meadow land to the west of the River Avon. [2] To the south lies Somerley, home of the Earls of Normanton. [3]

History

The name Harbridge probably means "Hearda's bridge". [4] In the Domesday Book of 1086, Bernard the Chamberlain held Harbridge from the King. Before 1066 it had been held by Ulveva. Harbridge is a referred to as a manor by the early 15th century. [2] In the early 19th century the manor passed to the Earl of Normanton, and like nearby Ibsley and Ellingham became part of his estate of Somerley. [2] On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Ibsley to form "Harbridge and Ibsley". [5]

The church of All Saints consisting of chancel, nave, and west tower, was rebuilt in 1838. [2] The tower retains its 15th-century masonry, but it was raised in the 19th century reconstruction. [6] Coade stone was used for various decorative elements during its reconstruction. [7]
