CHILWORTH, a parish in the hundred of MANSBRIDGE,
Fawley division of the county of SOUTHAMPTON,
4 miles (S. E. by E.) from Romsey, containing 123
inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the
archdeaconry and diocese of Winchester, endowed with
£600 royal bounty, and £ 200 parliamentary grant, and
in the patronage of John Fleming, Esq. The church is
a small, but neat, edifice, rebuilt a few years since by
the late patron, P. Serle, Esq. The soil is peculiarly
favourable to the growth of oak, which is here produced
in great luxuriance.
