Sutton Scotney

Sutton Scotney

Sutton Scotney is a small village north of Winchester in England.

It is in the county of Hampshire alongside the River Dever and is now bypassed by the A34 trunk road. It is notable for having been the site of numerous Spitfire crashes in the Second World War.

It has a population of more than 200, and had a watercress-based economy. Its best-known resident was J. Arthur Rank who took the name of the village as part of his title when he was ennobled.

Sutton Scotney is served by the Dever Stores local shop, the Scotney Salon, and the local service station. The village pub, the Coach & Horses, dates back to 1762. This lovely pub was recently refurbished and converted the former thatched village Fire station into comfortable bed and breakfast rooms. There are two firms of land agents in Sutton Scotney, one of which is the regional firm BCM Bays Curry McCowen.

There is a strange tree visible from the A34 when passing Sutton Scotney (known by some as the 'wyrd' tree).

No records exist detailing whether the RAF Fauld Explosion was heard from Sutton Scotney.
