People first settled at Whitchurch in the Iron Age, and the town is listed and described in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book. Through it flows the Test, one of the world's finest trout streams. Today's Whitchurch is a town of around 4000 residents, with shops, light industry and the Silk Mill - an important Hampshire visitor attraction as well as the producer of fine quality silks. Litchfield - also mentioned in the Domesday Book - is three miles to the North of Whitchurch; a mile South lies the little village of Tufton.
 
Whitchurch and Hursbourne Priors has a very active Conservative Branch.
