Parish Boundary
The Civil Parish (CP) boundary between Bentworth and Medstead is at the bend in the road at Trinity Farm, the boundary then running east towards the village of Beech.[2] This means that the house of Medstead Grange and its farm, Medstead Grange Farm, are within the parish of Bentworth rather than Medstead.
