Wolverton House A handsome late Georgian manor house. Strangely, the house attracts no attention from most Hampshire guides. Perhaps its proximity to St Catherine's Church means that it is overlooked by visitors.

Wolverton formed part of the estate of the Duke of Wellington until the mid-20th century.
