Welcome to the website of
Hamstead Marshall
a picturesque and historic
village lying between the Kennet and Enborne
rivers, four miles west of Newbury in West
Berkshire. The name applies to a Saxon manor, a
church parish of twelfth-century foundation and a
civil parish since 1896. All fall within roughly
the same boundary, enclosing nearly three square
miles of gently rolling farm and park land.
