Set in countryside of great beauty along the Bourne Valley, St Mary Bourne has an ancient church and no less than three pubs - the Bourne Valley Inn; the George Inn and the Coronation Arms. The Church of St. Peter dates from about 1157 and contains one of the rarest ecclesiastical treasures in Hampshire, a black marble font at least 800 years old, brought from Tournai in Belgium. This font is one of only four in Hampshire and is regarded as one of the finest in the country.
The large and much-used Village Centre complex was built as a result of a large scale fund raising campaign and hosts many Constituency as well as branch and other local events.
Electorally, we are part of the 'Burghclere, Highclere and St. Mary Bourne' local authority ward.
