Dogmersfield is a small village lying between the towns of Fleet and Hartley Wintney in Hampshire, England.[2] The M3 motorway and railway stations at Fleet and Winchfield provide routes to London.[3]

Places of interest include the village church, which is dedicated to All Saints,[4] the Queen's Head pub and a mansion house, Dogmersfield Park.[5] Henry VIII's elder brother Arthur, Prince of Wales, and his bride Catherine of Aragon are said to have stayed in the village.[4] The land where the manor is located was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Doccemere feld".[6]

Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School was built in 1911. Every year the school has a May Fair with traditional Maypole dancing and crowning of the May Queen. Other education facilities in the areas are St Nicholas' School and the Lord Wandsworth College.[3]

The Basingstoke Canal runs through Dogmersfield.
