Bursledon
Bursledon is a village on the River Hamble in Hampshire, England. It is located within the borough of Eastleigh. Close to the city of Southampton, Bursledon has a railway station, a marina, dockyards and the Bursledon Windmill. Nearby villages include Swanwick, Hamble-le-Rice, Netley and Sarisbury Green.
The village has close ties to the sea. The Elephant Boatyard located in Old Bursledon dates back centuries and is where Henry VIII's fleet was built. Submerged remnants of the fleet can be found in the River Hamble. The village, particularly the Jolly Sailor Pub and the Elephant Boatyard, were used as the primary filming venue for the 1980s BBC TV soap opera "Howards' Way".〔(Internet Movie Database: Howard's Way ) Accessed 29 April 2007〕 One of the more prominent family names responsible for building modern day Bursledon is the Hills of Springfield Manor.
==Etymology==
The village was known as ''Brixendona'' or Brixenden in the 12th century, Burstlesden in the 14th century, and ''Bristelden'' in the 16th century.〔(British History Online: 'Parishes: Bursledon', ''A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 3'' (1908), pp. 283-84. ) Date accessed: 29 June 2007.〕 The name probably means "Hill associated with a man called Beorhtsige", from Old English personal name meaning 'bright victory' and ''dun'' meaning "hill, modern down". It is unlikely the Beohrtsige is the same individual who gave his name to Brixton in South London.〔
