About
Bramdean is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, in the Winchester district, in the county of Hampshire, England. It is a linear settlement located along the busy A272 trunk road which was widened by the American troops in 1943 in preparation for D-Day. The village itself is peculiar due to the large number of large houses dating from the Georgian period. A few of these are set in or near beautiful rolling parkland with specimen trees. A number of hamlets are also situated within the boundaries of the parish. To the north of the village is Bramdean Common, known for its good walks and pretty cottages. Further settlements include Little London, Hinton Woodlands, Hells Bottom (or Wolfhanger), and Joans Acre.

In 1823 a Roman villa was discovered in the parish containing two tesselated pavements of very fine qualities. The villa stood on the site of an older Iron Age enclosure. The village church is dedicated to St Simon and St Jude. It is supposed to have its origins in the 1170s. However, only some of the original 12th-century structure survives, as the church was heavily altered in the 19th century. The original section of the building, consisting of a nave and chancel, is externally rendered, whilst the 19th century…
Description
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). It was erected in five weeks, and has a timber frame on brick plinth, encased in corrugated iron.
