Hamptworth is first mentioned in the early 13th century. Manor Farm dates from the 15th century.[3] From the 17th to late 19th century, settlement consisted of farms along the Redlynch-Landford road.[4] The area was once a tithing of the parish of Downton, and later became a ward of Redlynch parish. A community governance review effective 1 April 2017 transferred the eastern portion of Redlynch parish, including Hamptworth, to Landford.[5][6]
Hamptworth has a pub, the Cuckoo Inn, an early 18th-century building.[7] Hamptworth also has a golf club, Hamptworth Golf Club, which has one of the UK's only Par 6 at 666 Yards called 'The Beast'. The course was designed and constructed in 1994 by Philip Sanders and Brian D Pierson.[8]
The local school is the New Forest Primary School which has two sites: for younger children at Landford and older children at Nomansland. The latter began as a National School of 1867 on Hamptworth common, then in the 20th century the village of Nomansland expanded to surround it.[4][9]
A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1876 near the north end of Lyburn Road; it closed in the 1970s.[10]
Hamptworth Lodge is a country house built in 1912 in the Tudor style, to designs of Sir Guy Dawber. It was built to replace a seventeenth century building, parts of which have been incorporated into the present structure. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with timber-framing and has a tiled roof and ornamental brick chimney stacks. The house is Grade II* listed.[11]
