Nearby Fyfield is a small and rural village, whose church of St Nicholas dates from the thirteenth century, one of a few churches that have not been much "restored" by the Victorians! The old Fyfield Manor is now a famous racehorse training establishment, the source of many national hunt winners. Kimpton boasts a thatched bus shelter, Kimpton Manor, a delightful village green and St Peter and St Paul's church, parts of which date from the thirteenth century.
