The village of Hartley Wintney is largely an 18th to 19th century development, straddling the A30 and quite a distance from its historic centre. The old village was situated around St Mary’s Church and on the hill with the priory below between today’s village and the M3. Historically, the Manor of Hartley Wintney consisted of a number of small settlements surrounded by large areas of common and heathlands. These settlements were also at Hartford Bridge, near The Lamb Inn, Dipley Green, on Hartley Row and at Phoenix Green.

The Hartley Wintney Heritage Society will research and archive the past, record the present and promote a future that fits with what has gone before viewing the heritage of Hartley Wintney as a whole within its Hampshire and UK context.
