Before the Conquest, Earl Harold held Haseley: at Domesday, it was held by the King. It was given by Engler de Bohun to Quarr Abbey which held it as a grange until the Dissolution, when Thomas Wriothesley obtained a grant of it. He sold it, 1538, to John Mill. whose son George lived there. The manor passed to the Flemings and now belongs to J.E.A. Willis-Fleming. (2)
Haseley Manor House was practically re-built by the Mills but the West end of the East wing still retains part of a 14th cent. roof and may be a portion of the grange. In 1781 the house was modernised and the two south rooms remodelled. A coat-of-arms of Henry VII; possibly from a broken chimney-piece; is built into the N. wall of the East Wing. The farm buildings bear traces of considerable antiquity.(3)

As described, the older parts ranging in date from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries. Now divided into farm workers' tenements, it is in a fairly poor state of preservation but is being renovated. Two of the farm buildings are of considerable antiquity. (6)
