History
The manor of Dippenhall was recognised in the Middle Ages as a tything owned by Winchester Cathedral[1] until a period of release in that age.
In the 14th century Dippenhall (Dupenhale, Dupehale, Dippenhaie, Depenhale, 14th century; Dipnel, seen once in the 18th century in a land tax/ecclesiastical record) appears as a sub-manor dependent on the manor of Crondall - it however followed the same descent as the manor of Badley having been parted from Winchester Cathedral until the death of John de Westcote in 1336, when it was assigned to his sister Margery, the wife of John de Fulquardeby. In 1369 Thomas atte More granted back to William Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, the 'manor of Dippenhall, which he had by grant from Margery de Fulquardeby.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Dippenhall, with the other possessions of the Prior and Convent of St Swithun, was granted to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester; and from this time it is usually described in leases and other records as the farm of Dippenhall.[1]
Its 1831 population of the parish in Hampshire was 321.[2] Inclosure of the common lands of the parish occurred in 1848.
