LOCATION
The village of Hampstead Norreys lies peacefully in a wooded valley on the upper reaches of the River Pang which runs from its source near Compton through the centre of the village eventually joining the Thames at Pangbourne. Situated in the heart of the Berkshire Downlands, the village is surrounded by scenic undulating countryside designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”. The village has historic origins, being recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086AD. By the 13th century it was known as Hamstede-Sifrewast, becoming Hampstead Ferrers by 1367 and eventually when the village became part of the great estate of Sir John Norreys of Yattendon in 1450, it became known as Hampstead Norris or Norreys. The fine village church of St.Mary’s dates originally from Saxon times with later Norman additions.
An impressive village hall has been built with superb recreation ground, as well as a C of E Primary School. For secondary education the nearby village of Compton has the Downs Secondary School, which in recent years has established itself as one of the leading secondary schools in the area and boasts a VI form. In addition to having its own well revered primary school and secondary school locally, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.
The village also has The White Hart Inn which provides good food and there is an active local community centred round the village hall with an horticultural society, senior citizens club and various sports teams especially cricket. Recently with Lottery Funding and local participation a Village Community Shop has been opened to great success serving the local needs 7 days a week and staffed by local residents.
Nearby is Wyld Court, home to The Living Rainforest, famous for its exquisite rare orchids and tropical flowers.
There are good road communications with easy road access to the surrounding towns, M4 motorway and the fast A34 dual carriageway linking the south coast with Oxford and the Midlands. For rail commuters there are main line stations at Newbury, Pangbourne and Goring, all providing regular services up to London (Paddington). There is also a local bus route service to Newbury.
