Flower Delivery to West Tisted with Clare Florist

With an area size of 2356 acres and lying on high ground about 500 to 600 feet above sea level, West Tisted is a small village. It is located in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire and is 6.7 miles north-west of Petersfield, which is just off the A32 road.

The restored Ropley station on the Watercress line is the nearest railway station. It has trains that connect with the nearest national railway station, Alton, which is about 7.8 miles to the north-east.

Home to a Saxon church and an ancient oak tree, West Tisted is a place history lovers can admire. It was the home of Sir Benjamin Tichborne, the sheriff of Southampton. If you and your fellow partner are history buffs, you might enjoy a brief visit to the village. When you do so, make the event more special by getting some West Tisted flowers to present to your love.

Today, much of the village is dominated by a large working farm, R.S. Hill & Sons, where many of the residents work. In addition, the company owns West Tisted Manor.

HISTORY

In 941, King Edmund granted seven hides in TISTED to his faithful follower Ethelgeard. By the time of the Domesday Survey, West Tisted belonged to the bishopric of Winchester, and the manor was also held by the bishop until the beginning of the 13th century.

Several members of the Limesi family held lands in West Tisted during the 12th and 13th centuries. Although they owned several lands in the village, it wasn't as large as the one held by the Tisteds.

The Tisteds then married into the Tichborne family, who were the last known owners of the manor in the 16th century.
