The Village of Broughton in Hampshire

 
Foords Farm is to be found at the north end of the village
next to the old Baptist Church, and only a short walk from the village centre where St Mary's Church, the two pubs, the shop and village hall are situated.

As you walk down the High Street look out for the village well dug in 1921 at the time of a prolonged drought.   When you get to the T junction you are at the centre of the village which was once a Market Square. Look across to the ancient west door of the beautiful 12th century St Mary's Church and walk through the churchyard to see the attractive columbarium (dovecote) in the churchyard.

The Grey Hound public house closed its doors in November 2011 - what a tragedy - don't know what's going on there. Further down the High Street is the traditional village pub The Tally Ho, which is currently being refurbished. We are assured it will be open in time for Christmas 2011.   On the other side of the road is the brilliantly managed village shop West View Stores.

Down the length of the village the gin-clear chalk stream Wallop Brook is criss-crossed by bridges and fords and two old mills. Evidence of ancient water meadows is still discernible.
