In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Nately Scures like this:
NATELY-SCURES, a parish in Basingstoke district, Hants; on the Basingstoke canal and the Southwestern railway, 4 miles E by N of Basingstoke, and midway between Winchfield and Basingstoke r. stations. Post-town, Basingstoke. Acres, 1,004. Real property, £977. Pop., 271. Houses, 59. The property is divided among a few. ...
The manor was anciently known as Natan-Leaga, or formed part of a forest-tract so designated in the Saxon Chronicle; takes the latter part of its present name from the word "scora, " signifying "a shaw" or "a coppice; "and belongs to Lord Dorchester. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Winchester. Value, £178.* Patron, Lord Dorchester. The church is late Norman, with acircular apse, and with a very rich trefoil-headed N door; is one of the smallest churches in England, only 18 paceslong; and was recently in bad condition.
