Waltham Chase is a village in Hampshire, England, neighbouring the town of Bishop's Waltham. It is in the civil parish of Shedfield.

The village comprises about 2 sq. kilometres of land to the south-east of Bishop's Waltham.[1]

History

Previously a forest used for the hierarchy of Bishop's Waltham to hunt game, the village started to establish its own, independent identity in the 19th Century.

Amenities

The village has a primary school - St John the Baptist CoE; older children attend Swanmore College nearby. It has several green areas, e.g. a recreation ground and park area. It has a thriving village hall which is used by many societies and clubs. There is a bicycle shop, two village stores, one of which includes the post office and there is also a hairdresser. There is a garage with car repair, a car sales outlet and a commercial vehicle sales business.

It has a Methodist church; the local Anglican church, St John the Baptist, is located at Shedfield. The parish of Shedfield includes Shirrell Heath, Waltham Chase and Shedfield.[2]

The village has one inn, The Black Dog.

There are stables, several farms and a number of small businesses in the village, including Robin Appel Ltd,[3] an independent grain merchant and The Dog Room in Sandy Lane, the local dog groomer.
