MITCHELDEVER, a village, a parish, a sub-district, and a hundred, in Hants. The village stands 2½ miles SE of Mitcheldever r. station on the Southwestern railway, and 7 NNE of Winchester; and has a postoffice under Mitcheldever station. That station was an important one, serving for populous places so far as 13 miles distant, prior to the opening of the Basingstoke and Andover railway; and it has a head post office.

The property is all in one estate; belonged anciently to Hyde abbey at Winchester; went, at the dissolution, to the Earl of Southampton; passed, by marriage to William Lord Russell; and went, by sale, to Sir Francis Baring, Bart. An embankment, about 100 feet high, formed across an expanse of meadows, carries the railway in the neighbourhood of M. station.

The living is a vicarage, united with the curacy of East Stratton, in the diocese of Winchester. Value, £326. Patron, Lord Northbrook. The church succeeded an old one, destroyed by fire in 1806; was built at a cost of £10,000, all defrayed by Sir Francis Baring; retains the tower of the previous church; and contains monuments by Flaxman to the Baring family.
