History, heritage & famous connections
Colden Common was for centuries a scattered common-edge settlement in the countryside south of Winchester, in the valley of the River Itchen, historically part of the great manor and parish of Twyford. Its name recalls the common land on which it grew, and its story is bound up with the surrounding hamlets: Brambridge, by the Itchen, was for generations a centre of Roman Catholic gentry, and the childhood home of Maria Fitzherbert, who in 1785 secretly and unlawfully married the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. Nearby stands Marwell Hall, a historic house with Tudor and later origins whose parkland is now the home of Marwell Zoo.
Colden Common became a separate ecclesiastical parish in the 19th century as the settlement grew, and through the 20th century it expanded considerably as a commuter village, its central position between Winchester and Eastleigh and its easy access to the M3 making it a popular place to live. Today it is a large, sought-after village that combines that convenience with the beautiful countryside of the Itchen valley and the South Downs on its doorstep.
