Section 1
The first section Is the short length of the west boundary with New Alresford. The length of the boundary between BIshops Sutton and New Alresford Parishes is only three quarters of a mile.
The perambulation starts on what is now the B3047 just the Alresford side of the Railway bridge at what was called Bowling Close Gate, and headed south with Bowling Close on the Sutton side and Marrow Ditch on the Alresford side.(Bowling close being subsequently cut through when the railway was built 120 years later). Sweatly Row is the hedge row on the west of the solar farm. The Cump would have been in the corner where the old section of White hill Lane is, when it was cut of by the A31 bypass. The boundary then runs west just north of the old section of White Hill lane, then turns south again to cross the old White Hill Lane at its junction with Appledown lane. Appledown Gate would have been about there.

Domesday Book 1086 Entry for Sutton
The Domesday book is the name given to the Liber de Wintonia "Book of Winchester", a manuscript that contains the Great Survey of 1086 taken during 1085-1086 under the orders of King William (the Conqueror). It covered most of England and Wales.
Sudtone was in the Hundred of Esselei which translates to Ashley. A Hundred was a division of a Shire for military and judicial purposes and contained several places. in 1086 Esselei contained Sutton, West Tisted and Bramdean. It is virtually the same area as the later Bishop's Sutton Hundred which also included Bighton.
The fact that Headley near Alton was also included in Sutton possibly accounts for the three of the four mills; Headley continued to be associated with Bishop's Sutton until well into the 19th century
