[edit] Manor
In AD 909 Edward the Elder granted the manor of Tichborne to Denewulf, Bishop of Winchester.[2] However, Tichborne is not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The Tichborne family has held the manor since the 12th century. Tichborne House was built shortly after 1803.[3]
There was a notorious 19th century legal case of the Tichborne Claimant, in which an English imposter, Arthur Orton, then living in Australia, claimed to be missing Tichborne family member, Sir Roger Tichborne.
[edit] Parish church
The Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew has an 11th century Saxo-Norman chancel that combines characteristically Saxon double-splayed windows with Norman flat buttresses.[4] The nave and two-bay arcades are Early English Gothic.[4] The north aisle is now railed off to form the Tichborne Chapel, with monuments to members of the manorial family.[4] The west tower was added in 1703 and is built of blue and red brick.[4] It has a ring of six bells cast between 1737 and 1887.[2]
[edit] Amenities
Tichborne holds a traditional charitable festival called the Tichborne Dole.[citation needed]
Nearby attractions include the National Trust garden at Hinton Ampner.
