Whitsbury

Whitsbury is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England, close to Fordingbridge. Whitsbury is part of the group of villages on the edge of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
==Overview==
The village of Whitsbury consists of a straggling village street with timbered and thatched houses.〔(Victoria County History of Hampshire: Whitsbury )〕 The parish was originally in Wiltshire, but was transferred to Hampshire in 1895.〔 There are several tumuli on Whitsbury Down and an Iron Age hillfort, known as Whitsbury Castle, overlooks the village.〔(Hampshire Treasures Volume 5 (New Forest) Page 315 )〕 The land rises generally from south to north, reaching a height of 120 metres at Whitsbury Castle. Whitsbury Wood and Whitsbury Common are to the east and south of the village.〔 The Church of Saint Leonard, built in the 14th century, was altered and restored in the late 19th century.〔
The only inn in the village is the Cartwheel Inn.〔(Whitsbury Village Plan - Securing Our Future ), page 3, retrieved 12 October 2011〕 There used to be a shop, a small post office, and a village school, located just to the south of Major's Farm, the school was demolished during the 1950s and no sign of it now remains.〔 The main employment is based upon the very successful equine and agricultural industry, comprising 4 major yards of racing stables, stud and dairy.〔(Whitsbury Village Plan - Securing Our Future ), page 4, retrieved 12 October 2011〕 Consequently, the people-intense nature of these businesses has allowed Whitsbury to retain a charm that has been lost in many other villages and communities.〔
William Hill, of betting shop fame, owned a stud farm in Whitsbury,〔(William Hill ), thegoodgamblingguide.co.uk, retrieved 12 October 2011〕 and is buried in Whitsbury. The Gold Cup winner Desert Orchid was trained in Whitsbury.〔(Paul Henderson Racing ), retrieved 12 October 2011〕
