A bit more for the story..... I have now found in a booklet "Past Glimpses of Nursling and Rownhams" the following NURSLING COMMON Nursling Common lay to the east of the Romsey Road from Bakers Drove towards Maybush, and was used as an army transit site in 1795. Several buildings were in the locality and have now gone: the Scout Hut, the Hit and Miss Public House, Nutfield House where the roundabout now stands (the home of Rear Admiral Tate and later Mrs Chambers), and the thatch cottage between the two where Wilcox the builder lived, whose name can still be found on some old manhole covers in the community.
