Abbotts Ann

Abbotts Ann

Abbotts Ann is a village in the parish of the same name, approximately 2 miles south-west of Andover, Hampshire.

First mentioned as Anna when reportedly granted to the New Minster of Winchester by King Edward the Elder, it was later recorded in the Domesday Book as an area containing 8 hides and 3 mills.

Nowadays, the village contains a village shop run by volunteers (which itself contains a post office - one of many recently threatened with closure), which achieved second prize in the Best Rural Retailer 2007 competition. There is also a parish church (St. Mary's), a village hall, a primary school, a playing field and a pub called the Eagle, as well as another well known pub in the neighbouring village of Little Ann, called the Poplar Farm Inn.

The village is also home to one of the last remaining classic red phoneboxes left in England.
