Welcome to Overton
Overton Parish lies in North Hampshire, encircled by Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover and Newbury.
Originally settled around St. Mary’s Church, to the north of the River Test, Overton was established as a market town by the Bishops of Winchester c.1218. Several narrow central roads remain, forming a grid pattern, while the width of Winchester Street reflects its former use for markets and fairs.
Predominately rural as a parish, the village of Overton has spread out beyond the river valley and up onto the surrounding hills and is in the guardianship of Overton Parish Council.
