Hampshire TreasuresHampshire County Council undertook a survey to form a single record of treasures to be found throughout Hampshire so that the effects of both time and development could be known and assessed. A Hampshire Treasure is defined as: Those natural or man made features of the county which are of public interest by reason of their aesthetic, archaeological, historic, scenic, scientific, sociological or traditional interest, and whose deterioration or destruction would represent a serious loss to our heritage.
Both Mapledurwell and Up Nately villages contain features which by definition were included in the Hampshire Treasures survey, full details of which can be found at Hampshire Treasures Volume 2 (Basingstoke and Deane).
