Etymology

The name Longparish was first used in the mid-16th-century and is derived from a nickname for the "long parish" of Middleton — consisting of the settlements of Middleton, East Aston, West Aston and Forton — which stretched some four miles along the River Test. [3] [4] The parish of Middleton was first recorded as "Middletune" in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The foundation of a small settlement to support the newly created Longparish Station in 1885 has led to the village boundary extending south of the A303.

Landmarks

A 19th-century monument, Dead Man's Plack, stands nearby. [5]
