Christchurch is a borough and major town in the Dorset County in South West England. Christchurch has a total population of about 46,000 people and is an up and coming centre of trade and industry with a significant tourism base, says Vernon Pethard, Managing Director of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, the leading new homes website in the United Kingdom.
Christchurch first rose to prominence during the 12th century when a castle was built in the town. Christchurch played a small but important role during the English Civil War. The town of Christchurch, however, did not gain importance until the 18th century when it became a centre of smuggling. There was little custom surveillance and it lead to Christchurch becoming a hub of such activity. Major industrial development only started in the 20th century when Christchurch emerged as a centre of transportation. De Havilland had an aviation manufacturing plant in the town that closed in the 1960s. It still hosts a number of aviation parts manufacturing and repair plants. Major towns and suburbs of Christchurch are Burton, New Milton, Bournemouth, Hinton Admiral, and Highcliffe.
