Hampstead Norreys

Hampstead Norreys is a village and civil parish in Berkshire, England. It is centred on the small tributary the River Pang, north of Newbury.

Hampstead Norreys was awarded Berkshire's best-kept village in 1979. As well as the nucleus of Hampstead Norreys, the parish includes the hamlets or localities of Bothampstead, Eling and Wyld Court. Hampstead Norreys has a large recreational field, Dean Meadow, that is used for fetes and parties and by the village football and cricket teams. The school also uses the field for activities. In March 2011, a community shop was opened in the village, run by local volunteers. Shares in the shop were sold to village residents. It was the first community shop to be opened in a West Berkshire village since the 1990s.
