Christchurch is surrounded by large wide marshes at the confluence
of the Stour and the Avon. This strategic position gave
Christchurch its former name Tweoxneam ... 'the town between the
rivers'. Its harbour was sheltered by nearby Hengistbury Head, a
defensible site in more turbulent days, as well as an excellent
look-out point. Its skyline is dominated by the Priory, which was
famous in the Middle Ages for its relics and attracted many
pilgrims. After the Reformation and, a century later, the Civil
War, Christchurch fell into decline and became a small fishing
town.
