About Fencing in Stockbridge
Stockbridge in Hampshire takes its name from the broad main street built in the year 1200 on a chalk causeway across the valley, wide enough to accommodate the stock, meaning the sheep and cattle, driven down each year from the Welsh hills. Two English kings are recorded staying in the town, Edward I in August 1294 and James II in November 1688, reflecting its long standing importance on the route west. The town sits beside the River Test, Hampshire's longest and finest chalk stream, regarded by many as the birthplace of modern fly fishing, and the Houghton Club, founded in 1882 and based in Stockbridge, is the oldest fishing club in England. The disused Sprat and Winkle railway line that once served the town is now the Test Way footpath, taking walkers through some of the most picturesque villages in Hampshire.
