URPoint Details
The village sits on the northern fringe of the New Forest and lies hidden by trees.
This was an important place in the 19th century with Bramshaw Telegraph when a semaphore signal stood on the hill, one of a chain of telegraph posts between Portsmouth and the Admiralty in London.
The Church of St Peter is set among rhododendrons, has a memorial to seven men of the parish who died in the Titanic disaster in 1912. They had set out as emigrants to seek a new life in America.
There are three parishes, that of Brook in the south, Nomansland in the north and Fritham in the east.
At Nomansland so called, it is said because it was originally built by squatters, red-brick houses sit back from the village green.
