East Hanney is a village, and civil parish on Letcombe Brook about 3 miles (5 km) north of Wantage. Historically East and West Hanney were formerly a single ecclesiastical parish of Hanney. [2] East Hanney was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire.
East Hanney had a chapel by 1288, dedicated to Saint James, but Alice Yate is said to have dissolved it after she took over the manor in 1546. [2] The present Church of England parish church of Saint James the Less [2] was designed by the Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street in a 13th century English style and built in 1856. [3] It has since been made redundant and converted into a private home. Hanney Chapel is Non-conformist and was built in 1862. [4] It was closed after the First World War but reopened in 1943. [4]
Dandridge's Mill is a Georgian water mill built in the 1820s as a silk mill. [5] It is a Grade II Listed building but after it ceased working it became derelict. [5] In 2007 it was restored as four private apartments. [5] It is a low-carbon redevelopment with a number of sources of renewable energy, including an Archimedean screw [5] on the millstream that powers the property's own electricity generator.
East Hanney has a public house, the Black Horse [6] free house. There is also a branch of the Royal British Legion. Hanney War Memorial Hall includes a village shop with sub-Post Office.
