Hartley Wespall is a village in the north of Hampshire. It is near the larger village of Hook, which stands two and a half miles south-west of Hartley Wespall.
The parish church, St Mary Church, is flint with a tile-hung north tower. It was essentially reconstructed by George Gilbert Scott in 1868–69. It still has, as noted by Pevsner “one tremendous original feature, the early C14 timbers of the West Wall.”[1] The fourteenth century church is Grade I listed.[2]
John Keate, Head Master of Eton College from 1809 to 1834, was made rector here in 1824. He is buried in the church.[3]
