Four Marks is a charming village in Hampshire with a history that reflects England’s rural development over the centuries. The village’s name originates from its location at the intersection of four ancient parish boundaries: Ropley, Medstead, Newton Valence, and Farringdon. This meeting point was historically marked by a distinctive stone, signifying its importance in the region’s geographical divisions.
While the area has roots stretching back to Saxon times, Four Marks began to see more structured development in the late 19th century. In 1896, land in what was then known as the Lymington Park Estate was sold in plots, encouraging settlement in the village. Many of the early residents were Londoners looking for a fresh start in the countryside, drawn by the promise of self-sufficient living. This period marked a shift from a sparsely populated rural landscape to a growing community.
Another milestone in the village’s history was the arrival of the railway. In 1868, the Medstead and Four Marks railway station was established, enhancing connectivity and boosting local development. Although it ceased regular operations in 1973, it was later revived as part of the Watercress Line heritage railway, which now serves as a popular attraction for visitors and railway enthusiasts.
Today, Four Marks seamlessly blends its rich past with modern conveniences, making it an appealing place to live and visit. The village retains its historical charm while offering a vibrant and thriving community in the heart of Hampshire.
