Easton, Hampshire

Easton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Itchen Valley,[1] in the Winchester district, in the county of Hampshire, England, situated on the River Itchen, 2¾ miles north east of Winchester.

[3] In 1870–72, John Goring's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Easton like this: In 2010 Easton remains a small village but underwent limited development during the inter and post-war period.

Around ten additional houses have been built since 2000, and the land price has rocketed, although planning restrictions are very strict.

There are two pubs in the village (The Chestnut Horse and The Cricketers Inn, the former of which having been acquired by Avington Park after a period of disrepair[4] and set to reopen in late 2023[5]), a small auto-garage and a village hall.

The hall performs various functions including crèche services, WI meetings, a pavilion for the village cricket team and is the venue for an annual pantomime.
