Privett is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Froxfield and Privett,[1] in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Petersfield, just off the A272 road. Its principal feature is Holy Trinity Church, designed by Arthur Blomfield and built at the expense of local landowner, businessman and M.P. William Nicholson. Nicholson was also responsible for building in the village a number of dwellings for workers on his Basing Park estate.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 172.[3]
