ITCHIN (THE), a river of Hants. It rises near Alresford; runs westward, past Itchin-Stoke and Itchin-Abbas, to Kingsworthy; and proceeds thence south-southwestward, past Winchester, Twyford, and Bishop-Stoke, to the E side of the head of Southampton water. It h an entire course of about 25 miles; and, so early as 1215, it was made navigable to Winchester, a distance of 13 miles, by Bishop Godfrey de Lacy.
