Hinton Ampner
Hinton Ampner is a village and country house estate with gardens within the civil parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, near Alresford, Hampshire, England. The village and house are 8 miles due east of Winchester. The name probably derives from a combination of old English words Hea (high ground), Tun (homestead) and Higna (home of the monks), with the suffix Ampner being a corruption of Almoner, as the manor was once attached to a priory landholding. The house is a Grade II listed building. The house and garden are owned by the National Trust and are open to the public. History The area around Hinton has evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement, including the presence of several barrows.
