Upper Clatford
The Parish of Upper Clatford stretches southwards from the southern edge of Andover, it is a pretty little riverside village below Bury Hill which was a hill fort, today can be seen some more modern developments though including the factory of the famous Taskers who made trailers for lorries and founded the Waterloo Ironworks here in 1815. The famous wartime 'Queen Mary' aircraft recovery trailers were produced here.

The tiny church of All Saints stands in a meadow alongside the River Anton and is reached through a tunnel of lime trees that leads you to the 18th century brick porch.
