WONSTON - LOCATION

The quintessential English village of Wonston is nestled between the neighbouring communities of Stoke Charity, Sutton Scotney, and South Wonston. As you drive through, you'll find an appealing mix of charming thatched cottages and well-presented family homes, giving the village a welcoming and characterful atmosphere.

At the heart of the community stands the Holy Trinity Church, a beautiful example of historic architecture believed to be one of the earliest documented churches in Hampshire, with origins dating back to the Saxon era in 901, and mentioned within the Domesday Book in 1086.

Wonston is also home to the award-winning Wonston Arms, a beloved local pub that regularly receives accolades, including Best Little Pub in Hampshire and CAMRA Pub of the Year.

The village comes alive each July with its traditional Village Fete, a much-anticipated event that brings residents and visitors together for a day of classic country festivities and community spirit.
