HISTORY

The name Clatford is an Old English term that means “the ford where the burdock grows.” According to A History of the County of Hampshire, Clatford didn't become Upper Clatford until about the 14th century. The village was held by Saxi of the Confessor and by 1086, it was a royal demesne.

The village had four manors: Norman Court, Sackville Court, Clatford Manor and Clatford Mills.

An old railway line used to exist in the village as well. It can still be seen today as it marks an area that people can follow when they want to get to Andover by foot. A canal used to exist in the village but that's no longer visible. Both the canal and railway were important to the local economy as they were a means to transport raw materials from Southampton (via Andover) to Upper Clatford.
