Until sold to Crowley & Co of Alton in 1898, the Dog & Partridge had always been owned by the parish church. For centuries half was owned by the Overseers of the Poor as an almshouse and the other side, nearest the church, by the Churchwardens. The whole building was known as Church House. The Churchwarden's side was effectively the village pub. The monies which the Overseers of the Poor dispensed came partly from the annual rent paid by the innkeeper of the Dog & Partridge to the Churchwardens. The first surviving lease for Church House is to Richard South, dated 1714, and gives its name as the Dog & Partridge. Crowley & Co pulled down Yateley’s old Church House in 1912 and built a new emporium in the then modern roadhouse style.
