**Harbridge** is a small village and former [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish), now in the parish of [Ellingham, Harbridge and Ibsley](/source/Ellingham%2C_Harbridge_and_Ibsley), in the [New Forest](/source/New_Forest_District) district, in the county of [Hampshire](/source/Hampshire), England. It is located some four kilometres (2.5 miles)north of [Ringwood](/source/Ringwood%2C_Hampshire) and a similar distance south of [Fordingbridge](/source/Fordingbridge), in southwest Hampshire. In 1931 the parish had a population of 276.[1]

## Overview

The village of Harbridge is at the edge of the low meadow land to the west of the [River Avon](/source/River_Avon_(Hampshire)).[2] To the south lies [Somerley](/source/Somerley), home of the [Earls of Normanton](/source/Earls_of_Normanton).[3]

## History

The name Harbridge probably means "Hearda's bridge".[4] In the [Domesday Book](/source/Domesday_Book) of 1086, Bernard the Chamberlain held Harbridge from the King. Before 1066 it had been held by Ulveva. Harbridge is a referred to as a manor by the early 15th century.[2] In the early 19th century the manor passed to the Earl of Normanton, and like nearby [Ibsley](/source/Ibsley) and [Ellingham](/source/Ellingham%2C_Hampshire) became part of his estate of Somerley.[2] On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Ibsley to form "[Harbridge and Ibsley](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harbridge_and_Ibsley&action=edit&redlink=1)".[5]

The church of All Saints consisting of chancel, nave, and west tower, was rebuilt in 1838.[2] The tower retains its 15th-century masonry, but it was raised in the 19th century reconstruction.[6] [Coade stone](/source/Coade_stone) was used for various decorative elements during its reconstruction.[7]
