STRATTON (EAST)
Hypothetical Old English 'Straettun'='paved road farm'. The road is the Roman road from London to Winchester (Margary 42a). The place is 'East' Stratton from 1316 ('Est Strattone') in contradistinction to 'West Stratton' a mile away in Micheldever (recorded as so named from 1250). It is not known whether they were ever a single farm.

description
East Stratton
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830

refce: Cobbett 1830
... A little girl, of whom I asked my way down into East Stratton, and who was dressed in a camlet gown, white apron and plaid cloak (it was Sunday), and who had a book in her hand, told me that Lady Baring gave her the clothes, and had her taught to read and to sing hymns and spiritual songs.
...
As I came through the Strattons I saw not less than a dozen girls clad in this same way. It is impossible not to believe that this is done with a good motive; but, is possible to not to believe that it is productive of good. It must create hypocrites, and hypocrisy is the great sin of the age. Society is in a queer state when the rich think, that they must educate the poor in order to insure their own safety: for this, at bottom, is the great motive now at work in pushing on the education scheme, though in this particular case, perhaps, there may be a little enthusiasm at work. When persons are glutted with riches; when they have their fill of them; when are surfeited of all earthly pursuits, they are very apt to begin to think about the next world; and, the moment they begin to think of that, they begin to look over the account that they shall have to present. Hence the far greater part of what are called 'charities.' But, it is the business of governments to take care that there shall be very little of this glutting with riches, and very little need of 'charities.'
