Houghton and Bossington are two villages that lie on the banks of the beautiful River Test in the very heart of the Test Valley in Hampshire.  Communities have existed in Houghton and Bossington for over 2,000 years.  There have been many, many changes down the centuries and now in the twenty-first century we are on the world-wide web!  Houghton gives its name to the exclusive fishing club whose headquarters are in Stockbridge but whose stretch of the Test flows through the parish.

Longparish is a village of 5,331 acres, lying along the river Test, about 4 miles equidistant from Andover and Whitchurch, and about 10 miles north of Winchester.  The name, Longparish, was not generally used until the mid-sixteenth century, but it is appropriate since the village is about 3 miles long by road and includes several small settlements.
