The Parish of Over Wallop is in the Diocese of Winchester. It is part of The Wallops: Nether, Middle and Over. The name derives from waella (stream) and hop (valley) or 'the valley of springing water'. Over Wallop was described in the Domesday Book as the 'other Wallop', smaller than Nether Wallop.
