Westover, Hampshire, is the ancient manor, now in Dorset, over which much of modern Bournemouth has developed.
Geographically detached parts of the manor (for example the tithings of Longham and North Ashley) may have resulted from the post-Civil War breakup of estates formerly belonging to the Lords Arundell of Wardour.
The area bordering the West Stour (referred to as 'Westesture' or "Westur') became known as the Liberty of Westover.
Westover is a 'liberty' which meant that whoever owned it gained certain extra rights by dint of their possession.
Westover Road remains one of the principal commercial streets of modern Bournemouth.
