Turgis Green is a small hamlet in the civil parish of Stratfield Turgis in the English county of Hampshire. It is in the civil parish of Hartley Wespall. It contains six Grade II listed buildings and a Grade II listed milestone (on the A33).^[1]

A hamlet is a small human settlement. In different jurisdictions and geographies, hamlets may be the size of a town, village or parish, be considered a smaller settlement or subdivision or satellite entity to a larger settlement. The word and concept of a hamlet have roots in the Anglo-Norman settlement of England, where the old French hamlet came to apply to small human settlements. In British geography, a hamlet is considered smaller than a village and distinctly without a church or other place of worship.

Stratfield Turgis is a small village and civil parish in the north-east of the English county of Hampshire.

The hamlet of Turgis Green is part of the civil parish of Stratfield Turgis,^[2] and is part of the Pamber and Silchester ward of Basingstoke and Deane borough council.^[3] The borough council is a Non-metropolitan district of Hampshire County Council.

In England, a civil parish is a type of administrative parish used for local government, they are a territorial designation which is the lowest tier of local government below districts and counties, or their combined form, the unitary authority. Civil parishes can trace their origin to the ancient system of ecclesiastical parishes which historically played a role in both civil and ecclesiastical administration; civil and religious parishes were formally split into two types in the 19th century and are now entirely separate. The unit was devised and rolled out across England in the 1860s.

Basingstoke and Deane is a local government district and borough in Hampshire, England. Its primary settlement is Basingstoke. Other settlements include Bramley, Tadley, Kingsclere, Overton, Oakley, Whitchurch and the hamlet of Deane, some 7 miles (11 km) from Basingstoke.

Non-metropolitan districts, or colloquially "shire districts", are a type of local government district in England. As created, they are sub-divisions of non-metropolitan counties in a two-tier arrangement.

Transportation

The hamlet is situated on the northern section of the busy A33 road, which splits it north to south. It is not served by any public transport.

The A33 is a major road in England, situated in the counties of Berkshire and Hampshire. The road currently runs in three disjoint sections.

History

The hamlet is named for the Turgis family that owned land locally in the thirteenth century. Turgis Green was inclosed in 1866 as a result of the General Inclosure Act,^[4] which permitted landlords to enclose open fields and common land and deny local people their historic rights to graze on these area, as well as wood gathering and water rights. Late in the eighteenth century it was proposed to build a cut (canal branch) from the Basingstoke Canal to Turgis Green but the proposal never came to fruition.^[5]

The Inclosure Acts use an old or formal spelling of the word now more usually spelt "enclosure". They cover enclosure of open fields and common land in England and Wales, creating legal property rights to land that was previously held in common. Between 1604 and 1914, over 5,200 individual enclosure acts were passed, affecting 6.8 million acres.

The Basingstoke Canal is a British canal, completed in 1794, built to connect Basingstoke with the River Thames at Weybridge via the Wey Navigation.

Sport and leisure

The hamlet includes a cricket pitch, home of the Stratfield Turgis & Hartley Wespall Cricket Club, and small children's playground.

In the game of cricket, the cricket pitch consists of the central strip of the cricket field between the wickets. It is 22 yards long and 10 feet wide. The surface is flat and normally covered with extremely short grass though this grass is soon removed by wear at the ends of the pitch.

A playground, playpark, or play area is a place specifically designed to enable children to play there. It is typically outdoors. While a playground is usually designed for children, some target other age groups. Berlin's Preußenpark for example is designed for people aged 70 or higher. A playground might exclude children below a certain age.

Turgis Green is served by the church of St. Mary the Blessed Virgin, about a mile from the hamlet and close to the hamlet of Hartley Wespall.
