History
The 1868 National Gazetteer described the parish as being in the Hundred of "Mainsbridge" and containing Sholing and Woolston as well as Netley. The land was mainly arable farmland at this point, with some pasture and woodland, including a substantial amount of common land. The parish has been recorded from about 1370, when John de Bothby, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, held the living of Hound.
