Nether Wallop is a village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometres) northwest of Stockbridge, and 7 miles (11 kilometres) southwest of Andover.
Nether Wallop is the easternmost of the three villages collectively known as The Wallops, the other two being Over Wallop and Middle Wallop. The name "Wallop" derives from the Old English words Script error: No such module "Lang". and hop, which taken together roughly mean "the valley of springing water".
The village was the site of the Battle of Guoloph that took place around 440 CE. The element "Wallop" is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Wallope", while Nether Wallop is first attested as "Wollop inferior" in Episcopal Registers c. 1270.[1]
Nether Wallop contains many old thatched cottages, and has been featured in books and TV programmes as one of the prettiest villages in England.[2] In particular, Dane Cottage in Five Bells Lane was used as Miss Marple's home in the village of St. Mary Mead for the BBC TV adaptations of the Agatha Christie novels. The house and many of the surrounding lanes within the village were used as the setting and are commonly seen throughout many of the Miss Marple films.
Sir Richard Reade (1511–1575), Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was a native of Nether Wallop, where his family were Lords of the Manor for several generations.
