Tytherley or Tuderley, East (St. Peter)
TYTHERLEY or TUDERLEY, EAST (St. Peter), a parish, in the union of Stockbridge, hundred of Thorngate, Romsey and S. divisions of the county of Southampton, 7 miles (S. W.) from Stockbridge; containing 335 inhabitants, and comprising 2275a. 17p. A variety of trees of remarkably luxuriant growth ornament the surface, consisting of oaks, firs, elms, cedars, and very ancient yews, some of which are disposed in double rows and form beautiful avenues. The living is a donative; net income, £40; patron and impropriator, J. L. Goldsmid, Esq. The church contains a monument to the Giffords, dated 1568: in the chancel are memorials to several members of the Rolle family, and a tombstone of a distinguished dignitary; in an aisle of the church are two effigies with full-length crosses, intended, as is supposed, to represent priests. Sarah Rolle, in 1736, conveyed lands, &c, in support of a schoolmaster and schoolmistress; the income is about £200 a year. Danebury Hill, in the parish, commands a view of some extensive mounds or barrows, thought to have been raised for the sepulture of ancient warriors; and near these barrows are traces of the Roman road from Winchester to Salisbury.
