A manor house and a Saxon church
Warnford Park, also known as St John's House, is a medieval manor house built in 1209 and now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, standing near a parish church with origins said to go back to the Saxon period.
Planning authority
Like its Meon Valley neighbours, Warnford falls inside the South Downs National Park boundary, putting planning decisions in the hands of the South Downs National Park Authority rather than the city or district council.
Downland at the edges of the parish
The parish extends onto high ground including Wheely Down and part of Beacon Hill, so gardens near the village centre sit on very different terrain to plots further up the slope.
