Church Crookham, Civil parish and residential village in Hart district, Hampshire, England
Church Crookham is a residential settlement in the northern part of Hart in Hampshire, stretching for several kilometers parallel to Fleet. The settlement includes housing estates with single and two-story houses, several primary schools, green spaces, and a small center with shops and services.
The settlement appears in the Domesday Book from the 11th century under a different name. After the construction of an Anglican church in 1840, the place received its current name Church Crookham.
Residents use the parks and playgrounds for daily walks and meet at shops along the main street. Sports clubs and neighborhood groups organize activities that shape life in the settlement.
Buses run regularly between the settlement and Fleet as well as other places in the area. Footpaths and cycle routes connect the housing estates with the green spaces and the center, which is easily accessible on foot.
Until 1938, the only commercial tobacco plantation in Britain operated at Redfields, employing many people from the surrounding area. The fields were later converted into housing estates that now form part of the settlement.
