Awbridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Awbridge is a village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, about three miles north-west of Romsey, and near the River Test. According to the 2001 census the parish, which includes the villages of Awbridge, Upper Ratley and Lower Ratley, had a population of 695.

Locally, the name of the village is pronounced 'A-bridge', with the letter 'w' silent. This pronunciation can be the subject of some snobbery (and reverse-snobbery).
