Facts and practical information

Hinton Ampner is a village and country house estate with gardens within the civil parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, near Alresford, Hampshire, England. The village and house are 8 miles due east of Winchester. The name probably derives from a combination of old English words Hea, Tun and Higna, with the suffix Ampner being a corruption of Almoner, as the manor was once attached to a priory landholding. ()
