Hartley Wintney is a large village and civil parish in the Hart district of Hampshire, England.

The town has a typical wide Hampshire main street, lined with local businesses, shops, an osteopath, public houses and a Baptist church.

In the 13th century its toponym was variously recorded as Hercelega, Hurtlegh or Hertleye Wynteneye.

This last version means "forest clearing where the deer graze by Winta's island".

[7] About 100 years after the Norman conquest Hartley Wintney was made a separate manor held by the FitzPeter family.

In the 19th century the brick transepts and west tower were added and more windows were inserted.

[10] In 1869–70 a new parish church of St John the Evangelist was built nearer the centre of the town.

The present Elvetham Hall was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon and built in 1859–62.

The present Romanesque Revival church of St Mary the Virgin in the grounds of Elvetham Hall was completed in 1841.

311 Squadron RAF crashed and burst into flames in a field on the Elvetham Hall estate.

All twenty-three people aboard were killed, including five young children who were aged from 18 months to three years old.

The extra casualty was Edita Sedlakova who had initially been offloaded in favour of a replacement but she had stowed aboard the flight.

The town is on the A30 at its junction with the A323 Fleet Road, almost equidistant between Basingstoke to the west and Camberley to the east.

[20] In addition, route 65X runs between Alton College and Phoenix Green via Hartley Wintney[21] and route 408 runs between Farnborough College of Technology and Odiham via Hartley Wintney during term time.

A Saturday service goes to Camberley as well as The Meadows from Hartley Wintney, via Yateley and Frogmore.

The Hartley Wintney Heritage Society strongly oppose the benches on the cricket green.
