The parish of Upton Grey contains 2,553 acres f 

 undulating country, the land rising generally north- 

 west and south-east of the village as it lies about the 

 road which runs north-east from Herriard and 

 Weston Patrick towards Greywell. Approaching 

 from Weston Patrick, several outlying cottages, some 

 thatched, others low tiled buildings, and one good-sized 

 white house in front of which are two Scotch pine 

 trees, lie along the north-west side of the road opposite 

 sloping fields which rise up to the grounds of Hod- 

 dington House. Then the road makes a sharp curve 



round the village pond and continues north-east past 

 the blacksmith's shop and several farm buildings, which 

 lie on the right-hand side, towards Greywell, while a 

 branch road curving north-west round the pond 

 mounts up between the cottages and houses composing 

 the main part of the village to the church. Behind a 

 low railing on the north-west side of the pond are two 

 or three picturesque thatched cottages, behind which 

 is the modern school, built in 1856. Beyond the 

 schools on the right and left are low houses and thatch- 

 ed cottages, some standing on high ground behind 

 short sloping gardens, while on the left, behind
