Privett, Alton, GU34 3NS

Privett is a small village and former civil parish, now part of the parish of Froxfield and Privett in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It lies 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Petersfield, just off the A272 road. The village’s principal feature is Holy Trinity Church, designed by Arthur Blomfield and built at the expense of local landowner, businessman and M.P. William Nicholson. Nicholson also built a number of dwellings for workers on his Basing Park estate. In 1931 the parish had a population of 172. The village’s historical connections to a prominent local landowner and the presence of a notable church give it a distinct character within the rural setting of East Hampshire.
