- Christchurch is a borough and town in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England. The town adjoins Bournemouth in the west and the New Forest lies to the east. Historically in Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and is the most easterly borough in the county. It covers an area of 19.5 square miles (51 km) and has a population of approximately 45,000, making it the fourth most populous town in the county. Christchurch was founded in the 7th century at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour which flow into Christchurch Harbour. The town was originally named Twynham but became known as Christchurch following the construction of the priory in 1094. The town developed into an important trading port and was fortified in the 9th century. Further defences were added in the 12th century with the construction of a castle which was destroyed by the Parliamentarian army during the English Civil War. During the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling flourished in Christchurch and became one of the town's most lucrative industries. The town was heavily fortified during Second World War as a precaution against an expected invasion and in 1940 an Airspeed factory was established on the town's airfield which manufactured aircraft for the Royal Air Force. The town's harbour, beaches, nature reserves and historically important buildings have made Christchurch a popular tourist destination attracting some 1.5 million visitors a year. Bournemouth Airport, an international airport which handles approximately 800,000 passengers a year, is located within the borough boundary at Hurn. The airport's industrial park contains a number of aerospace and engineering businesses and is one of the largest employment sites in Dorset. Christchurch is a popular destination for retirees and has one of the oldest populations in the country with 30 per cent of residents aged over 65.
- Christchurch ist eine Stadt mit dem Status eines Borough in der Grafschaft Dorset in England. Sie ist Teil eines Ballungsraums, der auch die Städte Bournemouth und Poole mit einschließt. Christchurch gehört traditionell zur Grafschaft Hampshire, wird heute aber von Dorset aus verwaltet. Auf dem Stadtgebiet befindet sich der Flughafen Bournemouth. Es bestehen Städtepartnerschaften mit Christchurch in Neuseeland, Aalen in Deutschland, Saint-Lô in Frankreich und Tatabánya in Ungarn. Gemäß der Volkszählung des Jahres 2001 hat Christchurch 44.869 Einwohner; davon sind nicht weniger als 33,1 % über 60 Jahre alt, da viele Rentner hier aufgrund des milden Klimas ihren Lebensabend verbringen. Der im Osten gelegene Stadtteil Highcliffe weist mit 70 % den höchsten Anteil an älteren Menschen an der Gesamtbevölkerung im ganzen Vereinigten Königreich auf. Ebenfalls zu Christchurch gehören Ringwood und Fordingbridge. Christchurch war ursprünglich eine angelsächsische Siedlung namens Twyneham, was „Siedlung zwischen zwei Flüssen“ bedeutet. Die Flüsse Avon und Stour münden in den Christchurch Harbour. Dieser natürliche Hafen ist von einer ausgedehnten Salzwiese umgeben, durch eine Sandbank fast vollständig vom Ärmelkanal getrennt und bildet ein Vogelschutzgebiet. Während der Zeit der Angelsachsen war dieser Hafen einer der wichtigsten überhaupt; Boote, die vom europäischen Festland herkamen, konnten über den Fluss Avon bis nach Salisbury gelangen. Jahrhundertelang wurde der Hafen von Schmugglern genutzt. Das Stadtzentrum wird geprägt von der Klosterkirche der Christchurch Priory, einem seit dem 11. Jahrhundert bestehenden und teilweise zu einer Ruine verfallenen Kloster der Augustiner. Der heute bestehende Verwaltungsbezirk wurde am 1. April 1974 gebildet und entstand aus der Fusion des ursprünglichen Borough of Christchurch mit einem Teil des Ringwood and Fordingbridge Rural District.

- Christchurch è una città e distretto con status di borough del Dorset, Inghilterra, Regno Unito. Il distretto, anche se storicamente parte dell'Hampshire, quando fu creato con il Local Government Act 1972, fu unito al Dorset per uniformare tutta l'area urbana di Bournemouth e Poole, di cui fa parte. La sua entrata in funzione avvenne il 1 aprile 1974 dalla fusione dei borough di Christchurch con parte del distretto rurale di Ringwood and Fordingbridge.
- Christchurch is een Engels district in het graafschap Dorset en telt 44.865 inwoners. De oppervlakte bedraagt 50,4 km². Van de bevolking is 29,6% ouder dan 65 jaar. De werkloosheid bedraagt 2,2% van de beroepsbevolking (cijfers volkstelling 2001).
- Christchurch er en by i grevskapet Dorset i England. Den utgjør sammen med omkringliggende områder et distrikt ved samme navn, og siden dette ble opprettet i 1974 har byen vokst slik at den nå kan sies å være praktisk talt identisk med distriktet. Befolkningstallet i distriktet er 45 316, og arealet er 50,38 km². Byen ble grunnlagt som en saksisk landsby, og het opprinnelige Twyneham, som betyr «bosetning mellom to elver». Dette viser til Avon og Stour, som begge renner ut i havet ved havnen i Christchurch. Sentrum domineres av klosterkirken som har gitt byen sitt nåværende navn. I 1974 ble byen slått sammen med deler av distriktet Ringwood og Fordingbridge, og overført fra Hampshire til Dorset. En viktig grunn til dette er at den utgjør en del av et urbant område som består av Bournemouth, Poole og Wimborne, et område som best kunne administreres som del av Dorset.

- Christchurch est une ville et un borough du Dorset sur la côte de la Manche, voisin de Bournemouth à l'ouest et avec la région New Forest à l'est. Bien que Christchurch soit à l'intérieur des frontières historiques du Hampshire, au moment de la réorganisation locale du gouvernement en 1974, il avait été considéré souhaitable que la totalité de ce qui s'appelle maintenant la conurbation du sud-est du Dorset, qui inclut Bournemouth et Poole, devait faire partie du même comté. Le local government district (≈conseil général), qui a le "borough status", a été constitué par la fusion de la vieille ville de Christchurch avec une partie de zone rurale de Ringwood et de Fordingbridge. Depuis cela fait partie du comté non-métropolitain de Dorset.
