HURSLEY PARISH COUNCIL

The civil parish of Hursley is
situated to the south west of Winchester in Hampshire and is part of Winchester City Council's administrative area.
Ampfield Parish, part of Test
Valley District, adjoins to the west, and Chandler's Ford, part of Eastleigh
Borough, to the south.
The parish, famous for both its
connections with Richard Cromwell and John Keble (of Keble College, Oxford
fame), is centred on the historic downland village of Hursley, which lies roughly
mid-way between Winchester and Romsey on the A3090. Sometimes known as
"The Village of Chimneys" because of the tall highly decorated rubbed
brick chimneys, which decorate many of the older buildings, the village is home
to IBM (UK) Laboratories, who occupy Hursley Park, the "Big House" of
the village.
