MILLBROOK, a parish in the hundred of BUDDLESGATE, Fawley division of the county of SOUTHAMPTON 2 miles (W.N.W.) from Southampton, containing, with the village of Redbridge, 2124 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Winchester, rated in the king's books at £10. 6. 3., and in the patronage of the Bishop of Winchester. The church dedicated to St. Nicholas, and lately rebuilt, has received an addition of four hundred sittings, of wKich two hundred are free, the Incorporated Society for the enlargement of churches and chapels having granted £200 toward defraying the expense, the remainder having been defrayed, partly by subscription and partly by a rate levied on the parishioners. There was formerly a chapel at Shirley, in this parish. A commodious school-house has been recently erected, in which about one hundred and twenty children are taught upon the National system. Here is an iron-foundry, also a manufactory for agricultural implements, at which about sixty persons are employed; and at Shirley are iron-works for the manufacture of spades, shovels, and various descriptions of edgetools. At Redbridge, where the river Test is crossed by an ancient bridge of five arches, and discharges itself into Southampton water, there was formerly a considerable trade in timber, coal, corn, malt, &c., for which its situation is peculiarly well adapted, but of late years it has much decreased, though by means of the Andover canal, which commences here, there is still some traffic in those articles with the interior of the county. Shipbuilding, both for the naval and merchant service, was, till within the last few years, carried on to a greater extent than it is at present; sloops of war, mounting from twenty-eight to thirty-two guns, and schooners of a particular construction, having been built here about the close of the last century. A court is held annually by the lord of the manor. This parish is within the jurisdiction of the Cheyney Court held at Winchester every Thursday, for the recovery of debts to any amount.
