East Dean is a civil parish and small village in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, about 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Romsey. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Dene", appears as "Estdena" in 1167, and as "Dune" in 1212.[1]
The village is on the right (south) bank of the River Dun. The former Salisbury and Southampton Canal followed the river valley, as does the railway which now forms the Salisbury-Southampton section of the Wessex Main Line.
