**Shamblehurst**, also known as **Sandhust**, was a [manor](/source/Manorialism) and [tithing](/source/Tithing) within the ancient parish of [South Stoneham](/source/South_Stoneham), now in the modern-day [Borough of Eastleigh](/source/Borough_of_Eastleigh). It had [Allington](/source/Allington%2C_Hampshire) tithing to the north and [Botley](/source/Botley%2C_Hampshire) and [Durley](/source/Durley) parishes to the east.[1]

Most of the village of [West End](/source/West_End%2C_Hampshire), including the [Union Workhouse](/source/Moorgreen_Hospital), was situated in the Shamblehurst tithing with a small part of it falling within Allington. Shamblehurst contained three farms- Shamblehurst, Flanders and Botley Grange; two mills - Woodmill in modern-day [Swaythling](/source/Swaythling) and the Stoneham Paper Mill in modern [Mansbridge](/source/Mansbridge); and several [country houses](/source/English_country_house) including [Townhill Park](/source/Townhill_Park_House) and [Thornhill Park](/source/Thornhill%2C_Southampton).[2]

## History

At the beginning of the thirteenth century Shamblehurst belonged to [Henry Bisset](/source/Henry_Bisset), whose son John married Alice Bassett, daughter of Thomas Bassett. Henry gifted his new daughter-in-law the manor of Shamblehurst, and the manor and hundred of Bargate. John and Alice Bisset left three daughters as co-heiresses.[1]

The eldest, Margaret, married Richard de Redvers while her sister Ela became wife to John de Wotton. Both had sons named John who inherited significant lands from their parents; John de Redvers, son to Richard and Margaret held the manor of Bargate with the park and hundred of [Mansbridge](/source/Mansbridge) while Ela's son took her family name to become John Bisset and held the manor of [Rockbourne](/source/Rockbourne).[1]

The [Local Government Act 1894](/source/Local_Government_Act_1894) saw Shamblehurst divided with parts of it joining with parts of neighbouring tithings to form new [civil parishes](/source/Civil_parish), including [West End](/source/West_End%2C_Hampshire) with part of Allington.[3]
