Nomansland is a small village in
In the early 19th century the settlement was a hamlet, no more than a group of cottages on
extra-parochial place, then in 1857 became a civil parish which was joined to Redlynch parish in 1934. More houses were built in the later 19th century and the 20th century.[3] A community governance review effective 1 April 2017 transferred the eastern portion of Redlynch parish, including Nomansland, to Landford.[4][5]
The local school is the New Forest Primary School which has two sites: for younger children at Landford and older children at Nomansland. The latter began as a National School of 1867 on Hamptworth common, then in the 20th century the village of Nomansland expanded to surround it.[3][6]
A
Primitive Methodist chapel was built in the mid-19th century and replaced by a new building on the green in 1901.[7]
This became Nomansland Methodist Chapel and was still in use in 2015.
The village has a pub, the Lamb Inn,[8] and a French restaurant, Les Mirabelles.[9] The village also has a Post Office and general store, Landford Stores, located on Forest Road, which is open 7 days a week.
