With a datestone of 1651, White Hart House was formerly the White Hart Inn which had closed by 1900. The building was altered in the 18th century and there is a 19th century rear extension and a 20th century extension to the right return. It is believed that Samuel Pepys spend the night in the inn in 1668. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1364312 Chitterne village lies in the middle of Salisbury Plain. Much of the parish is owned by the Ministry of Defence within the Salisbury Plain Training Area. The Imber firing range is to the north and the Copehill Down training area to the east. The Chitterne Brook, a small tributary of the River Wylye, flows through the village. There is a fine history of the village at: http://www.chitterne.com/history/index.html
