Back entrance to Hyde Farm, Awbridge
The drive curls round to Hyde Farm past the small lake in the hollow: this is not a result of gravel extraction but was created by digging out the clay.

Crossroads in Awbridge
One of the earliest references to Awbridge (pronounced "Aybridge"), can be found in the Domesday Book. In the first draft completed in 1086, Awbridge was listed as "Abedric". By 1207 the name had changed to "Abberugge", "Abbederugge" in 1218 and "Abbederigge" by 1238. This transition reflected the Norman influence on the original Celtic name. Much later in 1849 the name was spelt "Awebridge", as can still be seen on the inscription within the northerly wall of the original chapel near Stanbridge Earls.
Originally, land in the vicinity of the hamlet of Awbridge, belonged to St Peter's Abbey, Winchester. Awbridge lies on a ridge as viewed from Michelmersh, so it is thought that its original name was "Abbodhrycg" meaning the "Ridge of the Abbot".
