If you look here http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/freefun/outlinemaps/, you'll find links to downloadable maps of UK counties.

Wiltshire and Hampshire are both in the south of England. GoogleMaps should help to to locate the exact place.

Hi tudors 2009,

Just wondering if you have the name of the place right.  There is a BRAMSHAW 12 miles SW of Salisbury in the South West corner of Wiltshire and 6 miles NW of Lyndhurst in Hampshire.

If you need more help, post another question!

Hi

The village of Bramshaw is in the county of Hampshire but the Parish of Bramshaw straddles the county boundary, it is partly in Wiltshire and partly in Hampshire.

Sorry it is Bramshaw.
That was my fault.

Officially, Bramshaw was partly in Wiltshire until 1895.

Who are you looking for in particular?
