These include: [[Fyfield, Hampshire|Fyfield]], [[Thruxton, Hampshire|Thruxton]], Kimpton, Redenham and [[Weyhill]]. There are also 3 local towns; [[Ludgershall, Wiltshire|Ludgershall]] and [[Tidworth]] in the county of [[Wiltshire]], and [[Andover, Hampshire|Andover]] in Hampshire. === The Civil Parish === The Civil parish of Appleshaw borders the other civil parishes of: Kimpton, Kyfield and Penton Grafton in Hampshire, and Chute Forest and Ludgershall in Wiltshire. Part of the border of the parish of Appleshaw makes up the Wiltshire-Hampshire border. The parish includes a few hamlets as well as the village of Appleshaw. This includes [[Ragged Appleshaw]] which's name "ragged" could possibly come from a corruption of 'roe gate' - the gate of the Royal Deer Forset of Chute. Parts of [[Redenham Park]] lie within the parish. == History == === Fairs === In 1658, the parish was granted the right to two annual fairs, Appleshaw became a rival to the great Weyhill sheep fair. In 1801, The ''Salisbury Journal'' reported that 15,000 sheep were sold at Appleshaw, a reduction on the previous year's total. == Sports == [[W. G. Grace]] once played cricket here, with his bat made of Wallop willow. === Recreation areas === In the middle of the street a clock sticks out from a barn wall, placed there to celebrate Queen Victoria's jubilee. The name Appleshaw is derived from Old English ‘scarga’ - a shaugh or wood; thus Appleshaw may mean ‘apple wood’. ==Education== Appleshaw has one school, Appleshaw St Peter's CE Primary School. ==References== <references/> ==External links== {{Commons category|Appleshaw}} *[http://www.appleshaw.org.uk Official site] {{Test Valley}} {{Hampshire}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Villages in Hampshire]] [[Category:Test Valley]] {{Hampshire-geo-stub}}
