== History ==
The name means "the white church", and was first recorded in 1230. (Another source dated about 1500 may be a copy of a record dated to 1065). The village in its present location dates from about the 12th century, when the centre of population of an older village named Filton, Filwood or Felton, west of the present village, moved to the present site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Whitchurch Parish Council )〕 The parish was still sometimes known as Felton as late as the 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales )〕 The parish of Whitchurch was part of the Keynsham Hundred in Somerset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕
The parish became a civil parish in 1866. The northern parts of the civil parish were transferred to Bristol in the 1930s and 1951.〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 From then Whitchurch was divided between a suburb of Bristol and a village outside the city in Somerset.
