Clatford
Early in the 12th century, Clatford manor was given to the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Victor-en-Caux (Saint-Victor-l'Abbaye, Seine-Maritime) together with land at Hullavington, some 18 miles (29 km) to the northwest. The small Clatford Priory, at times called Hullavington Priory, continued until the 15th century.
In the 14th century, Clatford was comparable in size with the neighbouring village of Manton; in 1801 there were 122 inhabitants. Today Clatford is a rural community made up of Clatford Hall with Clatford Farm, several houses clustered around a crossroads and several other houses spread further out.
Clatford Hall dates from the later 16th century and is Grade II* listed.
Clatford is in the civil parish of Preshute.
