Read moreWhitchurch is a small Hampshire town in the upper Test valley, where the clear river once powered local mills, including the silk mill that still survives near the centre. It stood on the coaching road between Basingstoke and Andover, and Paterson's strip maps of 1785 and 1803 follow the stages through the town from Hartfordbridge. Senex and Gardner in 1719, and Kitchin in 1767, map the longer road from London towards Andover and Salisbury, and a print of 1909 shows the village in its Test valley setting.
