Wolfhanger

Wolfhanger is a hamlet in Bramdean and Hinton Ampner situated approximately Template:Convert northeast of Bramdean. Wolfhanger was predominantly formed in 1937, following the development of a poultry farm. Three cottages had already existed here, which date from the 1830s and stand prominently on a junction known as Woodland Gate. This junction is also known as Hells Bottom, as it is believed that this area was the location of the gibbet for the former parishes of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner.

The name of Wolfhanger is derived from a nearby field of the same name, said to be where the last wolf in Hampshire was killed. The name existed in the late 18th century when the name of Wolfhanger Wood was recorded.

In the 1960s, Wolfhanger became the home of writer and newsreader Terence Carroll.
