Minley is included in the
Domesday Book of 1086 as Mindeslei, in the Holesete Hundred, Hantescire (Hampshire) as a manor in
Yateley, assessed at 2
hides and at 20 shillings (£), and was still
held directly of the monarch by Alsi son of Brictsi. and Mindley in the 18th century. Minley ferm (Farm) is shown on a general whole-county map, of a near-national series, by Norden from 1607 as well as Crundall Hundred. Per the Domesday Book, the manor was land/estate of 2 hides (likely about 240 to ); now however, Minley Manor (more formally Minley Manor House) is the
mansion house built by
Henry Clutton in 1858–60, later for some time with its own demesne grounds used by the
Royal School of Military Engineering.
Guillemont Barracks east before Minley Road, on its north side, abutting Hawley and Cove, were built in 1938. After they were decommissioned by the British Army, they were bought by
Sun Microsystems in 1997 for £36m. The company built three office buildings on the site, but after two phases were complete and the
dot-com bubble burst in 2000, phase 3 ended mid-build. the facilities and staff relocated to Oracle's Headquarters in Thames Valley Park, Reading. Property company Landid bought the former headquarters in January 2011. In 2013, its planning application to demolish the part-built structures and to build 150 homes there was refused; the next year's application to build 48 homes on the southern half succeeded. As to the rest in January 2015 planning permissions were granted for the demolition of the existing part-built structures and erection of 150 homes, construction of internal roads, provision of open space, school parking area, landscaping and associated infrastructure. In 2018 Hart District Council granted planning permission for the demolition of the existing office buildings and comprehensive redevelopment of the site for the construction of 313 homes along with internal roads, open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure (Sun Park Phase II). ==References==
