Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Test Valley like this:

Test, river, Hants; rises near Upton, flows SE. and SW. to a confluence with the Anton at Fullerton, and thence 17 miles S., under the name of Test or Anton, past Stockbridge and Romsey to the head of Southampton Water.

This is the only descriptive gazetter entry we have found, but you may be able to find further references to Test Valley by doing a full-text search here.
