Darby Green is part of the parish of Yateley, North East Hampshire, England. The electoral ward of Frogmore and Darby Green is separated from the rest of the parish by a small gap around Clarks Farm, until recently a composting farm in the mushroom producing industry. The ward has a boundary shared with the Blackwater part of Hawley Parish.
Parson Darby, a vicar doubling as a highwayman, was supposedly hung at the junction of the B3272 and Darby Green Road, but this is almost certainly a myth. The local historian of Yateley, Sidney Loader, lived near this spot.
There used to be a tin church at the corner of the B3272 named for St Barnabas. This burnt down in the 1980s and was replaced by a new St Barnabas in Bell Lane, close to Frogmore Green. The present incumbent is the Reverend Mike Saunders, who is Rector of Eversley. Every year, close to St Barnabas Day in June, the Church organises a community fair.
