There was a Roman villa.[1] Hazelbury was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086[2] and had a church, which fell into disuse before 1540.[3]
The extinction of the village probably followed the Black Death pandemic.[4] Today only Hazelbury Manor survives: a 14th-century building in grounds of 186 acres (75 hectares).
