In 1086, the Domesday Book recorded an estate at Bushton, held by the Bishop of Winchester.[1] By the 17th century the manor of Bushton had become a tithing of Clyffe Pypard parish.[2]

Woodhill Park, near Bushton, is a Georgian country house built in the 18th century. Richard Pace added the south-east range in 1804.[4]

Notable residents

The pamphleteer and poet Ralph Broome (1742–1835) was born and raised in the hamlet.[5] Also born at Bushton was the Jesuit missionary to India Thomas Stephens (c. 1549–1619).
