Things to do in Pamber End
Pamber End is a few houses on the Basingstoke road with the remains of a Norman priory at one end and a sixteenth century pub at the other. The Vyne and Pamber Forest are both a short drive.

Pamber Priory
The chancel and tower of a Benedictine priory founded around 1110 and consecrated in 1128, all that was left after Eton pulled the rest down in the fifteenth century. The Queen's College, Oxford rebuilt it in 1474 and still owns it. There's a service most months, and no toilets.
