district
of North-East Hampshire. The parish includes the joined village of Phoenix Green to the south and surrounding hamlet
s of Dipley, West Green, Elvetham and Hartfordbridge, as well as large wooded areas such as Yateley Heath Wood and part of Hazeley Heath. The River Hart flows to the north-east of the village. The River Whitewater
forms the western parish boundary and the M3 motorway forms the southern boundary.
The village has a typical wide Hampshire main street, lined with local businesses, shops, public houses and a Baptist church. It is particularly well-known for a proliferation of good antique shops. At the southern end is the village green and duckpond (with thatched duck house). The red-brick parish church
of St John overlooks the green and the elegant Mildmay oak
trees beyond. The oaks were planted by Lady St John Mildmay in response to the call, in 1807, by Admiral Collingwood following the Battle of Trafalgar
for landowners to plant oaks to provide timber for naval ships.
The cricket green, home of the oldest cricket club in Hampshire, is behind the shops adjoining a second picturesque duckpond and Dutch-gabled farmhouse.
In 1831, the village (excluding Elvetham and Hartfordbridge) had a population
of 1139. In 2004, the ward had a population of 4954 and is expected to only increase to 5022 by 2008. The village is twinned with Saint-Savin near Poitiers, France and with Malle
, famous for its Trappist
beer, near Antwerp in Belgium

the lands comprising Hartley Wintney became a separate manor
owned by the FitzPeters family. This family subsequently gave land to the Cistercians to found a priory
of nuns. A deer park, which stretched from Odiham to the outskirts
of the settlement

and others for hunting and the wood was used for fuel.
