Brockhampton (Brochemtune in eleventh century; Brokhampton in fourteenth century) was one of the tithings of Havant (corrupted from Havehunte or Havonte); the others were Leigh, Langstone and Hayling North. The present West Street in Havant " leads through Brockhampton tithing towards Bedhampton, past the Roman Catholic Church of St. joseph" (Victoria County History, Hampshire, iii, 122). Bedhampton is one mile west of Havant Station and six miles northeast of Portsmouth (Viet. County Hist., iii, 142).
