Winsor is a smalll village in south-western Hampshire, at the eastern edge of the New Forest, and effectively all of a piece with neighbouring Copythorne to the west. Other nearby villages include Netley Marsh to the south-east, and Bartley to the south-west.
History
Winsor is first recorded as Windesore in 1167, and Windlesore in 1222.[1] The name apparently derives from "windels-ora" meaning "winch on a bank".[1]
In the 13th century there was an estate at Winsor and at nearby Cadnam which belonged to the nuns of Amesbury, who in 1286 obtained a grant of free warren in both estates.[2] About the same time a second estate at Winsor was held by the Abbot of Netley, which probably formed a part of the abbot's estate at Totton.[2]
At some time after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, these lands passed to the Paulets, becoming part of the Paultons estate.[2]
