It is part of The Wallops: Nether, Middle and Over Wallop. The name derives from 'waella' (stream) and 'hop' (valley) or 'the valley of springing water'. The element 'Wallop' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Wallope'; 'Wollop inferior', that is to say Nether Wallop, is first attested circa 1270 in Episcopal Registers.^[1]The village contains many old thatched cottages and has been featured in books and TV programmes as one of the prettiest villages in England.^[2]

Nether Wallop was used as the setting for Miss Marple's village of St. Mary Mead in the BBC adaptations of Agatha Christie's novels.

Sir Richard Reade ( 1511-1575 ) Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was a native of Nether Wallop.

The conductor Leopold Stokowski died at his home in Nether Wallop on 13 September 1977.

The church is partly Anglo-Saxon, and unique fragments of frescoes apparently dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period have been discovered.^[3]
