Tichborne is a village and civil parish 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Winchester in Hampshire, England.
In archaeology in the south of the parish within the South Downs National Park is a bell barrow, bowl barrow and regular aggregate field system immediately east of Ganderdown Farm, a Scheduled Ancient Monument indicating bronze age inhabitation.
In AD 909 Edward the Elder granted the manor of Tichborne to Denewulf, Bishop of Winchester. However, Tichborne is not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The Tichborne family has held the manor since the 12th century. Tichborne House was built shortly after 1803 while a longstanding baronetcy (indicating the use of 'Sir') was held by the family. There was a notorious 19th-century legal case of the Tichborne Claimant, in which an English imposter, Arthur Orton, then living in Australia, claimed to be missing Tichborne family member Sir Roger Tichborne.
Almost all of the other buildings are clustered near each other and are listed buildings. They include an Old Rectory which may indicate chancel repair liability, the Chapel of St Margaret. and Tichborne Park House. Near Cheriton is the only Grade II* listed building, Sevington Farmhouse. 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Alresford are a northern small street of cottages, Lady Croft Cottages and Seward's Bridge over the River Itchen and Watercress Line railway.
