It lies on the estuary of the river Hamble, which is here crossed by a bridge. The depth of the estuary makes this a commodious place for shipbuilding, which is carried on to some extent. The living is a perpetual curacy, value £110, annexed to the vicarage of Hound, in the diocese of Winchester. The church is dedicated to St. Leonard. There are charitable endowments worth £5 a year.
