2011 census
, Winslade, along with Tunworth, Weston Corbett and Weston Patrick, had a population of 224.

History

The hamlet's name has been spelled in various ways, including Winesflot (11th century), Wineslode (13th century), Wynesflode (14th century), and Wyndslade (16th century).[1] The parish of Winslade formerly included the village of Kempshott, which covered an area of 555 acres (225 ha), but was merged with Winslade in 1393. It formed a part of Winslade until 1876, when it was ceded to Dummer's parish under the Divided Parishes Act.[1] Hackwood Park was acquired by William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester in the 16th century and was used as a Royal deer park until the early 20th century.[2]

The earliest mention of the manor of Winslade was made in 1086, when it was held by landowner

Marquis of Winchester. William died in the same year he sold it, and consequently the land was passed onto his son Francis of Bolton,[3] who was fined four shillings (equivalent to £26,700 in 2017) as lord of both Winslade and Kempshott for not attending the court of Basingstoke Hundred in 1560.[4] It was sold to his overlord, John Marquess of Winchester, two years later, and his descendants continued to hold it until at least 1908.[1] According to the 1901 census, Winslade had a population of 59.[5]

Notable landmarks

Hackwood House from the west side

The parish of Winslade contains a total of 42

listed buildings—the majority of which are located in Hackwood Park—including three Grade II* listed.[13] Hackwood House is an imposing mansion of symmetrical design, with the original structure dating from 1680. The exterior has four Neo-classical columns, which are situated in front of pilasters raised from the main wall surface. The central doorway is housed in an oval recess and also contains two columns and pilasters at the side. The interior of Hackwood House contains panelling and a large fireplace of late 17th century style, with a carved ornamental festoon brought from Abbotstone House in Wiltshire.[14]

Other listed buildings in Hackwood Park are the fishing temple, a once-domed building with eight columns and an incomplete circular stone base,[15] a 19th-century teahouse pavilion,[16] a single story mid-18th century orangey,[17] a statue of George I which dates from 1722,[18] and a late 19th-century mill house.[19] Grade II* listed buildings include an early 19th-century stable block and riding school,[20] and a menagerie pond pavilion, which dates from 1727 and was given as a gift by James Gibbs to the third Duke of Bolton.[21]

The church of St Mary is a plain rectangular plan with a yellow brick tower and slate roofing. Although the site is old, the present church dates from 1816 and was Grade II listed on 26 April 1957. The church is described as a "rather unattractive building" with plastered walls, weathered stone bands and slender openings.[1][22] Another place of worship was the Winslade Congregational Chapel, which is situated near a footpath leading to the villages of Herriard and Ellisfield. The chapel was opened in October 1888 by the fifth Earl of Portsmouth and Thomas Maton Kingdon, an ironmonger from Basingstoke. The deacons of London Street in Basingstoke decided to close it in 1930 and was eventually sold to the Portsmouth Estate five years later for £35 (equivalent to £2,585 in 2021).[5]
