Background
History
There are marginal remains of a late Roman period villa in nearby Little Woodcotte, found in 1849. The Holt is a grade II listed country house which was the seat of the Shendley-Leavett family. John Alfred Leavett-Shendley, High Sheriff of Hampshire in 1985 1986, married Alison Yvonne Cecil, daughter of Yvonne Cornwallis and Henry Mitford Amherst Cecil, who served as a Royal Navy commander in both World Wars. It was also the home of Robert Calder, a naval officer in the Napoleonic Wars, who died there in 1815. Calder is buried in the local churchyard.
