Split between two planning authorities

Unusually for a single village, Netley Marsh's parish straddles the New Forest National Park boundary, so some properties are decided by the New Forest National Park Authority and others by New Forest District Council, depending on which part of the parish they fall in. It's worth checking your specific address rather than assuming either authority automatically applies.

Victorian buildings on much older ground

Tatchbury Manor House in the village was largely rebuilt in brick during the Victorian period, though it incorporates a core going back to the thirteenth century, and the parish church, St Matthew's, dates from the middle of the nineteenth century. Nearby, the site of an Iron Age hillfort at Tatchbury Mount points to settlement here long before either building went up.

A village known for its show ground

Netley Marsh has hosted an annual steam and craft show since the early 1970s, and the village was also the original home of a much larger county agricultural show that started here in 1920, before later moving to a permanent site further into the Forest. That connection to large outdoor events is part of what the village is still known for locally.
