Hook was located on the main London to Exeter stagecoach route. Until the 18th century, only a few scattered farms could be found in the area. In 1883, Hook railway station was constructed and the village began to grow.

Early-Mid 20th century

St John the Evangelist Parish Church was completed in 1938, replacing the tin tabernacle used by worshippers since 1886. The new Church was designed by Edward Maufe and shows in small scale design features that would later be incorporated by him into Guildford Cathedral.

Hook was considered as part of a scheme to settle Londoners in the country after the Second World War, but nearby Basingstoke was selected for development instead. Recently, the village has grown in size, with new housing developments being constructed.
