| The Domesday Book has Timmbredertel held
by the Abbey of St Mary in Winchester and one can see by its name that
there was a Saxon village here in a clearing in the forest that held a
manor, wooden church and a few huts for dwellings and this was
surrounded by a stockade on top of a ditch for protection. It is a small scattered village that lies along the road from Kings Somborne to Romsey. Its church can be found by turning off the main road and following a narrow road to Timsbury Manor and the church which luckily did not have much restoration done to it and is said to be one of the best little churches in the county, with its simple shape, wooden tower and 500 year old porch and set in lovely surroundings with a garden path leading to it from the old school.
