Weston Corbett is a very small, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Basingstoke and Deane, Hampshire, England, lying a few miles north of Basingstoke and close to Sherborne St John. There is no obvious village centre - just scattered farms and cottages, narrow lanes and hedgerows - so residents rely on nearby towns for shops and services while enjoying a quiet, agricultural landscape.
The name combines the common Old English "Weston" (western farmstead) with the Corbett family who once held the manor, and medieval records hint at a small manorial site and chapel though little survives above ground. Today it is valued for its peaceful rural character, limited development and the sense of continuity with Hampshire’s agricultural past, with many households commuting to Basingstoke or working locally on the land.
