[2] There are a number of prehistoric barrows in the vicinity of the parish, especially around Brockwood Park, suggesting a significant area of activity for Early Bronze Age peoples.

The original section of the building, consisting of a nave and chancel, is externally rendered, whilst the 19th century additions are built of flint and stone.

The Church in the Wood is a chapel which was built to serve the nearby farm workers by the Reverend Alfred Caesar Bishop in 1883 (see Bramdean Common).

Dating to the 17th century, this cosy weather-boarded building has witnessed many historic events, including the Battle of Cheriton in 1644, when Sir William Waller and his troops marched through the village.

During this time, many of the houses in the village were supposedly requisitioned for use of troops of both sides (although these claims are hard to substantiate and are often connected to 17th century and older buildings).

The Inn underwent extensive alterations in the 18th century, encasing the building in brick, extending it to the north, and by adding a large bay window to the south.

The Inn underwent repairs in 1893, and during works, a well preserved poster relating to the sale of a property at Alton was discovered beneath the paint.

Woodcote Manor is a Grade II* listed building with parts dating from the late 15th century, originally granted by the king to the custodian of Winchester Gaol.

The house was later sold twice during the Hadens' residency, the last time to Edwin Austin Abbey who extended Woodcote in 1911 with works by Reginald Blomfield.

[9] It is a public school inspired by the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, and was founded in 1969 after repairs on the dilapidated park and manor house took place.

[10] A stone circle was erected in the park grounds in the mid-19th century by Colonel George Greenwood, made primarily from local sandstone and some puddingstones from East Tisted.

Various accounts from the time detail the view that Colonel George erected it in order to see how long it would be before archeologists and historians deemed it a relic from the ancient past.
