The London and Southampton Railway was first proposed in 1831 and the bill approved by Parliament in 1834 at a cost of £900,000. The section between Basingstoke and Winchester opened on 11 May 1840 – and was the final part of the London and Southampton Railway to be completed. Prior to its construction, all of the traffic between London and Southampton was carried by eight stage coaches, four wagons per week, and one barge weekly on the Basingstoke Canal!

All facilities
East Stratton Village Hall
The hall is run by a committee of villagers, for the village & all of its users. It was built in 2009, on the site of the old hall, which was in desperate need of replacement. This was thanks to various community fundraising events, and the help of a grant from our local council and a Lottery grant as well.
The Dove
We are proud to be a family run pub. Husband and Wife landlords Charlie & Jo lead the team including Chef Liam and front of house staff Marzena & Daria. All of whom live in the Micheldever area too. A local family pub, run by local families. For further details and to join The Dove family click the link below
Northbrook Arms
The Northbrook Arms reopened under new ownership in July 2020. As well as a traditional ‘pub offering’ the site also hosts a number of public and private events such as stand-up comedy evenings, small weddings and birthdays. As part of a complete renovation of the site, the Northbrook Arms is also home to self-catering holiday accommodation and eventually (expected completion 2023) will include an indoor pool and spa facility. The Northbrook Arms is the perfect country retreat whether you’re looking for a drink and a catch up with friends or a dream family holiday – all provided in the stunning back drop of East Stratton Village – a quintessential English dwelling place.

Temporary opening hours, whilst we search for lovely full and part time permanent staff to open 7 days a week. We will be operating a reduced menu, until staff training is completed, and we can build up to a full operation. We thank you for your support, and custom, but we are short staffed, and over stretched. To make things better for all, we need to spend more time finding and training staff – a task that was not as easy as I had previously experienced! Please be patient whilst we sort things out and work to make the Half Moon a brilliant place to eat and drink.

All Saints' East Stratton
In Saxon times the tithing of East Stratton belonged to the Hundred of Micheldever, part of the Royal Estates and King Alfred the Great’s personal property. In 903AD the Hundred of Micheldever was granted to the New Minster Winchester (later Hyde Abbey) by Alfred’s son, King Edward the Elder, as described in the will of his father. The monastery collected the tithes and sent a monk in priest’s order as chaplain.
Micheldever Church of England School
Standing opposite St Mary’s Church in the heart of Micheldever Village, you will find Micheldever Church of England Primary School.
