The Calleva Arms

Highlight • Pub

Warm and cosy pub with a nice beer garden in the Summer and warm earthy food to pick you up on those colder months of the year.

Decent prices, good service and friendly staff.

This short and gentle climb to Little London rises through a canopy of trees which give it a very nice atmosphere while providing cover from both sun and rain.

The road through the village of Little London at the top offers traffic-calming measures, which means that drivers are normally a little more patient.

Also, who'd want to go into London, when you can cycle to its Little sibling? ;-)

St James' Church, Bramley

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of St James in Bramley, Hampshire, England was built in the Norman period and has been added to since. It is a Grade I listed building.

The Norman church had a west tower added in 1636, replacing a previous wooden tower. Part of the nave was added by John Soane in 1802.

The famous physicist Lise Meitner is buried in the burial ground next to the church, near the grave of her brother Walter.

The Iron Duke Pub

Highlight • Pub

***Update October 2025 - After about 18 months of closure it's back! Only open on Sundays and Wednesdays at the moment (also Bank Holidays), but it's back nonetheless.***

Friendly country pub.

Has a drinking water tap in the garden and barman was keen to let me know that they're happy for this to be used out of hours. Probably best not to take the p!ss, but good to know.

St Mary’s Church, Hartley Wespall

Highlight • Religious Site

The date of the original building is unknown, but there is evidence of the existence of a timber-built Nave in the 13thcentury, possibly the oldest example in the South of England.

The first Rector was Edmund de Bedewyn. He was given charge of the Church on 2’’ January, 1286 by Isabella de Cadurcis, Prioress of Hartford Priory.

In 1868 the church underwent a major rebuild in honour of John Keate a Canon of Windsor and rector of the parish for 24 years. His tomb is in the church. As part of this work the bell tower was moved from the west wall to its present position, thus exposing the fine timberwork of the west wall.

The north wall window is dedicated to William Grant Broughton who was Curate here in 1818. On the recommendation of the Duke of Wellington he was selected to travel to Australia in 1829 later becoming the first Bishop of Sydney and eventually, the first Archbishop of Australasia.

Two of the three bells are original, being cast between 1439 and 1450. The third dates from 1688. The organ is by Hedgeland and dates from 1873 with the casing by George Gilbert Scott. The pulpit is Jacobean.
