History
The 1868 National Gazetteer described the parish as being in the Hundred of "Mainsbridge" and containing Sholing and Woolston as well as Netley.[2] The land was mainly arable farmland at this point, with some pasture and woodland, including a substantial amount of common land.[2] The parish has been recorded from about 1370, when John de Bothby, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, held the living of Hound.[3] Template:Eastleigh borough
