Monk Sherborne is a small village and civil parish in the district of Basingstoke and Deane in Hampshire, England, set in typical rolling Hampshire countryside a short distance from the town of Basingstoke. It feels distinctly rural, with lanes, farmsteads and small streams giving a quiet, pastoral character.
The "Monk" in the name hints at medieval monastic links, and the parish retains a number of historic features and listed buildings amid modern homes. Economically it remains rooted in agriculture while many residents commute to nearby towns or to London, and the social life of the village tends to revolve around local gatherings and the parish community that sustain its small‑scale village feel.
