Old Basing


After Al got back from Aus. We hired a car in order to buy a car and after spending a weekend roaming around Basingstoke looking for cars we gave up and went sight seeing. We went to Old Basing. We went to look at Basing House which is actually a ruin of a manor house but unfortunately it was closed so instead we walked around the village of Old Basing and took in the little thatched roof cottages and had a fantastic walk through the churchyard. The cemetery was overgrown with brambles and ivy but there were walkways through it. The old tombstones were beautiful emerging from the ivy and hidden in amongst the autumn trees. It was really lovely.
