The ParishThe chapelry of Kingsley, part of the ancient parish of Alton, is located in eastern Hampshire, close to its border with neighbouring Sussex and forming a small part of the border with neighbouring Surrey. This chapelry was only a small transcript as it was only licensed for marriages for a short while. Kingsley is located about 3 miles southeast of the market town of Alton. The village stretches along the B3004 road which connects Alton with the A325 (Farnham to Petersfield) road. There is not much to the village, as stated, most is along the B road and much of the parish is occupied by a golf course and the footpath riddled common. Kingsley sits at about 80 metres above sea level in the valley of the River Slea, a tributary of the Wey which is ultimately heading for the Thames at Weybridge. The area is characterised by heathland on sandy and stony soil that was of little value for agriculture, indeed sheep and rabbits were probably the main "crops". The chapelry covered a small acreage, just 1,500, and supported just over 350 parishioners. The chapelry is not specifically mentioned in Domesday Book. |
