Barton Stacey
Barton Stacey is a village and undulating civil parish, which includes the hamlets of Bransbury, Newton Stacey, Drayton and Cocum, in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, centred about 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Andover. It is bounded to the north by the estate of Drayton Lodge (north of the A303 trunk road), and, to the south, by the minor A30 road; both being east–west routes, and connected by The Street/Cocum Road, the main road that bisects the village. The distance between the A303 and A30 at this point is 2 miles (3.2 km), which is twice the width of the parish.
The area is well-connected by roads. Bullington, to the east has the A34 road, joining Southampton and the south-central coast from near the close of the M3 to Oxford and The Midlands. Barton Stacey parish has the westernmost end of the A272 road, which runs from the A30, through nearby Winchester and on to Cross In Hand, East Sussex.
At Newton Stacey and Bransbury Common in the west the parish adjoins the braided River Test; its tributary the Dever runs through the north of the parish; both are noted for their trout fisheries. The village was severely damaged by a significant fire in 1792, destroying many properties.
The total area of the civil parish is 5,027 acres (20,340,000 m2). At the time of the 2001 census, it had a population of 892 living in 341 households; the population of the parish in 2016 was estimated to be 1,034. The civil parish includes the village of Barton Stacey, and the hamlets of Bransbury, Newton Stacey, Cocum, and Drayton.
Cocum lies to the south, it includes a farm and buildings, and incorporates a military small-arms firing range, situated to the north of the A30 road.
South of the A303 at Drayton is Barton Stacey Services, a trunk road service area accessible by westbound traffic only. This area was formerly known as Drayton Filling Station, having been developed from a parcel of MOD land in 1959.
Bransbury is to the west of Drayton, accessible either by turning south off the A303 or via Barton Stacey. There is a former mill building here alongside the river. The hamlet of Newton Stacey lies west of Barton Stacey on the road to Chilbolton.
Barton Stacey lies in a corridor of land between the North Wessex Downs and the South Downs National Park. Its downland area is predominantly arable farmland, which has traditionally been used for growing malting barley, though other crops are grown, and sheep grazed.
