Chilworth
This article is about Chilworth in Hampshire. For Chilworth in Surrey, see Chilworth, SurreyChilworth is a village in
Hampshire,
UK, very close to the city of
Southampton. Good travel connections and restricted development has led to the village becoming particularly affluent. Chilworth Old Village, at the west end, consists of former farm workers' thatched cottages interlaced with modern houses and bungalows built in the 50s. The Anglican Church of St Denys lies on the edge of the Old Village.
Chilworth is home to the
University of Southampton Science Park (formerly the
Chilworth Science Park) which houses the main satellite uplink earth station of
British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB). This facility uplinks signals (both Sky and some third party) to the
Astra satellites at 28.2°E and
Eutelsat's Hotbird at 28.5°E.
