East Hanney is a village, and
ecclesiastical parish of Hanney.[2] East Hanney was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire
.
Churches
East Hanney had a chapel by 1288, dedicated to
Saint James, but Alice Yate is said to have dissolved it after she took over the manor in 1546.[2] The present Church of England parish church of Saint James the Less[2] was designed by the Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street in a 13th century English style and built in 1856.[3] It has since been made redundant and converted into a private home. Hanney Chapel is Non-conformist and was built in 1862.[4] It was closed after the First World War but reopened in 1943.[4]
Economic history
Dandridge's Mill is a
water mill built in the 1820s as a silk mill.[5] It is a Grade II Listed building but after it ceased working it became derelict.[5] In 2007 it was restored as four private apartments.[5] It is a low-carbon redevelopment with a number of sources of renewable energy, including an Archimedean screw[5] on the millstream
that powers the property's own electricity generator.
Amenities
East Hanney has a
public house, the Black Horse[6] free house. There is also a branch of the Royal British Legion. Hanney War Memorial Hall includes a village shop
with sub-Post Office.
