refce: Cobbett 1830
... Looking back over the road that I have come to-day, and perceiving the direction of the road going from this village [Selborne] in another direction, I perceive that this is a very direct road from Winchester to Farnham. The road, too, appears to have been, from ancient times, sufficiently wide; and, when the Bishop of Winchester selected this beautiful spot whereon to erect a monastery, I dare say the roads along here were some of the best in the country.
