Rotherwick is a village and civil parish in Hampshire.
The village is briefly limited to the east and the west by the Whitewater and the Lyde, both tributaries of the Loddon. A curved lane runs approximately a mile and a half from the nucleated village centre to the high street, which is the old A30 trunk route, of Hook. Beyond this point is further housing and then Hook railway station, a frequently served minor stop on the South Western Main Line.
By the village is the Black Wood, a small woodland on the sandy soil, as with Stratfield Saye remnant forest to the north-west and Swinley Forest in the near part of eastern Berkshire.
About the village
Rotherwick has a large village hall, erected in 1933 through charity of 1931 by an American couple in memory of their son Charles De Forest.
The village church is just known as Rothrwick Church. It is a small church, with side chapels, a whitewashed interior and many high open timber roof trusses. It is one of three in the ecclesiastical parish of Heckfield with Mattingley and Rotherfield. Its structure dates to the 13th century, with an 18th-century tower. A 2012-installed stained glass window celebrates 300 years of neighbouring Whitewater C of E Primary school.[1]
Tylney Hall Hotel and Gardens marginally overshooting into the parish of Newnham is studded with trees and formal lawns; it is a large set of ornate buildings and its golf course and most of its grounds absorb the south-west corner of the parish.[2]
