A damped hinge assembly is provided for mounting a first member (12, 13) for pivotal movement relative to a second member (14) about an axis of rotation (20). The assembly comprises a linear damper (17), which is mounted with its longitudinal axis parallel to the hinge axis, and a cam drive arrangement (21a, 21b, 30a, 30b) for converting the pivotal movement of the first member in at least one direction of rotation into linear displacement of the damper. This causes the damper to produce a damped resistive force to counter the pivotal movement of the first member. The longitudinal axis of the damper is arranged to be coincident with the hinge axis.
