		The river as far upstream as Winchester was probably used by various small craft from time immemorial by such peoples as the Romans, Saxons and Danes.
		Certain improvements to the course may have been made at about the beginning of the Eleventh Century since reference was made to a 'New River' in the Itchen valley in a charter from the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066).
		Further attempts appear to have been made to improve the river but around the beginning of the Fourteenth Century the prosperity of Winchester, which was based on the wool trade, began to decline.

		The Itchen valley floor was then just oozing bog with a myriad of spring-fed but heavily silted streams which seeped their way slowly down towards the sea.
		Although most of the mills had ceased operation but were still in place, the river keepers had still to be employed to control aquatic weed growths and to carry out necessary bank maintenance, mainly to protect valuable land and property in the flood plain from summer flooding.
		Dry fly fishing on the Itchen and Test became the way to fish and to increase this opportunity to practise the art, the landowners employed more and more river keepers to maintain, enhance or restore the rivers to a state where they offered even more top-quality dry-fly fishing for wild brown trout.
