Hope under Dinmore is a village and

The parish had a population in mid-2010 of 343,[4] increasing to 412 at the 2011 Census.^[5][3]

The 15th-century Hampton Court Castle lies east of the village. It was built in 1472 by Sir Rowland Lenthall who had distinguished himself at the Battle of Agincourt, taking so many prisoners that he was able to fund the completion of the building.^[3] It was later the ancestral home of the Earl Coningsby,^[6] and in the nineteenth century, passed into the hands of Richard Arkwright.^[3]

Dinmore Manor, in a valley south-west of the hill, was founded as a preceptory of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem.^[7] The ruins are still visible on the hillside above the village.^[3] It is the private residence of mobile phone tycoon Martin Dawes and no longer open to the general public.^[8]

Winsley House, in the west of the parish, is a Grade II listed 14th-century farmhouse with later additions.^[9]

Most of the population of the village is centred in the housing estate called Cherrybrook Close, but the village extends up two roads, one of which leads to Westhope Common. The industrial and business park of Marlbrook is within the north-east of the parish, and partly in the neighbouring parish of Newton. This is where the Cadbury company has a factory that processes 180 million litres of fresh milk, 56,000 tonnes of sugar and 13,000 tonnes of cocoa liquor each year to produce milk chocolate crumb for the manufacture of milk chocolate.^[10]
