HARPSDEN

As well as Harpsden village the parish of Harpsden includes several nearby hamlets including Harpsden Bottom. Between and to the south of Harpsden and Harpsden Bottom is an area of open-access woodland known as Harpsden Woods.

About half a mile to the east of Harpsden is Harpsden Court - a red brick country house with rough cast render to the front. The house is thought to be C17 with some C18 and C19 alterations. The house has an impressive mid-C19 stone entrance gateway with curved walls to either side.

Near Harpsden Court is St Margaret's Church which dates from the C12. For the history and full information about St Margaret's Church click here.

Some scenes from the popular TV series Midsomer Murders have been filmed in the village of Harpsden.
