Historical Geography information for Bramshaw, Hampshire, England
| Place Name | Bramshaw |
| Description | Bramshaw is a small village and civil parish in Hampshire, England. It lies just inside the New Forest. Bramshaw appears twice in the Domesday Book for Wiltshire, when the lands were held by Wulfnoth and a certain Edmund. Odo of Bayeux was overlord of these lands in Bramshaw at the time of the Survey. The name Bramshaw probably derives from an Old English word for "bramble bush wood." The manor of Bramshaw, together with that of Britford, appears to have been granted by one of the Norman kings to the family of de Lacy sometime during the 12th century and it passed down through various nobles such as Rober Lord Hungerford and George Lord Hastings. Until 1895, Bramshaw was divided into two parts, one half in Wiltshire, and one half in Hampshire. |
