This volume traces the history of Cliddesden, Hatch, and Farleigh Wallop, which lie to the south of Basingstoke. Each settlement has a common manorial descent from the 15th century onwards and they were managed as components of a single estate under the lordship of the Wallop family from their seat at Farleigh House. This book discusses the manorial owners and the development of the estate, and also includes much more about the lives and activities of ordinary people living and working in the settlements.
