*************

Milford on Sea (often hyphenated as Milford-on-Sea) is a large village and civil parish located on the south coast of England in the county of Hampshire. With a population of 4,660 (2011 census), Milford has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs in its high street, which borders the village green.

Milford on Sea is village on the shore of the Solent, in Hampshire. The village is scenic in location, protected from development by a surrounding green belt of land. From the beach, The Needles of the Isle of Wight are on most days clearly visible. On the coast to the west on a clear night, the conurbation of Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole can clearly be seen, together with the stars reflecting on the sea.

Slightly further east is Keyhaven, with its boatyard and bird sanctuary. Protruding southwards from Keyhaven is Hurst Spit, approximately two miles of shingle, from the end of which the inhabitants of Hurst Castle used to watch over the Solent. The castle was built by Henry VIII, and is now visitor oriented, with a museum, lighthouse and café. A seasonal ferry makes the trip across the marshes as an alternative to the blustery walk

Milford began as a Saxon settlement, and the name simply means ""mill ford"".[2] At the time of the Domesday Book of 1086 there were two separate estates in Milford, one held by Aelfric Small, and the other some unpopulated land held by Wulfgar.[3] At a later date three separate manors were evolved from these estates and were eventually known by the names of Milford Montagu, Milford Barnes, and Milford Baddesley.[4]

The manor of Milford Montagu, which was held of the lords of Christchurch, seems to have originated in an estate held by William Spileman at his death in 1291.[4] In the late 14th century it was part of the lands of William Montagu, 2nd Earl of Salisbury.[4] In 1428 Thomas, the 4th Earl, died possessed of the manor, and was succeeded by his daughter Alice.[4] By 1580 the manor had passed out of the hands of the Montagu family, and it was acquired in 1610 by Sir Thomas Gorges, who was succeeded by his son Sir Edward, Baron Gorges of Dundalk.[4] In 1638 he sold it to Edward Hopgood. At the end of the 18th century the manor was purchased by Admiral William Cornwallis.[4]

The manor of Milford Barnes originally belonged to Christchurch Priory.[4] After the Dissolution a twenty-one years' lease of ""the site of the manor with the appurtenances and all land and fisheries belonging, together with 20 acres in Shorefield,"" was in 1557 granted to John Wavell, and in 1574 a similar lease was granted to John Rowe.[4] Sir Thomas Gorges owned the estate in 1611, and from that time its descent was the same as that of the manor of Milford Montagu.[4]

The manor of Milford Baddesley originated in an estate held in Milford by the Knights Templar.[4] In the time of King John, Hugh de Whitwell and his son William granted land at Milford to William Mackerel which he granted to the Templars, for their preceptory of Baddesley.[4] It was held of Christchurch manor.[4] On the suppression of the order of Knights Templar this estate was granted, about 1312 to the Knights Hospitaller, to whom it continued to belong until the Dissolution of 1540.[4] It was acquired by Robert Rickman around 1609, in whose family it remained into the 18th century.[4] In 1829 Mary Anna Theresa Whitby, who had inherited Admiral Cornwallis' estates purchased Milford Baddesley, thus uniting all three estates.[5]
