The Wallops

[edit]

Together the villages of Over Wallop, Middle Wallop and Nether Wallop are known as The Wallops and run in a line roughly north to south following the course of the Wallop Brook, which has its source in Over Wallop.

Middle Wallop airfield

[edit]

To the East of the villages the area is dominated by the Middle Wallop airfield, home to the Army Air Corps, a branch of the British Army. It was supposedly the site of a battle between certain Vitalinus, possibly Vortigern, and Ambrosius Aurelianus.[1]
