From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sparsholt is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) west of Wantage in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire.

The earliest known record of the place-name is as Speresholte or Speresholt in an Anglo-Saxon charter from 963 now reproduced in the Cartularium Saxonicum. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Spersolt and a pipe roll from 1156 records it as Speresholt. It is derived from Old English and probably means “wood where spear-shafts were obtained”.
