Stockbridge (UK Parliament constituency)
Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1801–1832 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Penistone and Stocksbridge (UK Parliament constituency).
Stockbridge was a parliamentary borough in Hampshire, which elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons from 1563 until 1832, when the borough was abolished by the Great Reform Act. It was one of the more egregiously rotten boroughs, and the first to have its status threatened for its corruption by a parliamentary bill to disfranchise it, though the proposal was defeated.
