In 1868 Weyhill was described as a parish in the hundred of Andover, county Hants, 3 miles N.W, of Andover. The parish includes the hamlets of Penton Grafton, formerly a distinct parish, Clanville, Nutbean, and Ragged Appleshaw. A large cattle and horse fair is held in October. Cheese, hops, and leather are also sold in considerable quantities during the fair.
