==History of the site==
In 1335 Edward III gave the Manor of East Tytherley to his wife, Queen Philippa, who moved her London court there to escape the black plague. She and her court remained there until her death in 1369. In the 15th century the manor was known as Queens Court. In 1654 Francis Rolle purchased the manor and it remained in the Rolle family until 1801. Queenwood Farm, famous for its yew trees,〔 (Some references have "Queenswood" of "Queen's Wood" instead of "Queenwood".)〕 with some adjoining land was leased to Robert Owen in 1839 by Sir Isaac Goldsmid for 99 years at a low rent.〔(Queenwood College, (Harmony Hall), Hampshire Garden Trust Research )〕〔 "The quantity of land is 1,000 acres, held on a lease of ninety-nine years at a rent of 15 shillings an acre. ... There is some fine wood on the ground, and an avenue of fine old yews, which for beauty and extent is perhaps not to be equalled in any other part of England."〕 Owen erected a large H-shaped, three-storey, brick-and-flint building on the lease holding and named it "Harmony Hall". Owen attempted to create a pioneering socialist project in community living. There was an elementary school, started in early 1843, which in May 1844 had 94 pupils. By 1845 the communitarian pioneers were bankrupt. On the Little Bentley Farm adjoining the site of Harmony Hall, William Galpin set up a small community of vegetarian socialists, who were mostly ex-colonists of the Harmony Hall Community. By 1846 Galpin's project was also bankrupt.〔(Hampshire Yews — History of the Queenwood Site, ancient-yew.org )〕
