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.

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.'
