Rockbourne Fields And Whitsbury Cross On The Horizon Stock Photo

Rockbourne is a village of thatched, brick and timber houses, next to a stream now known as Sweatfords Water.[3] The village consists chiefly of one street almost half a mile long.[4] The church is in the northeast of the main street. Close to the church, adjoining the north side of the churchyard, is a manorial complex consisting of small L-shaped 14th-century house, now used as part of a modern farmhouse; the remains of a large Elizabethan or Jacobean house a short distance to the east; a 13th-century chapel near its southeast angle; and a large 15th-century barn running northward from the chapel.
