Hurstbourne Priors is a small village in the north of Hampshire. Its nearest town is Whitchurch, two miles to the north-east. It sits by the Bourne Rivulet, just above where that brook, having grown more substantial, joins the River Test.
The church of St Andrew the Apostle is the oldest existing church in the Diocese of Winchester.
In the churchyard is the grave of noted Irish baritone Harry Plunket Greene (1865-1936), as well as those of his two sons Richard (born 1901) and David (born 1904). The Finnish industrialist and diplomat Ossian Donner is also buried in the churchyard.[1]
