Introducing Kempshott …… Welcome to all our visitors and new residents. Kempshott is a great place to live.

We are now an outer suburb of Basingstoke but there is a lot going on here and beautiful local parks and countryside invite you to get out and explore in good weather! This website tries to give you a speedy guide to what can be found where, in and around our area.

We update the site regularly but if you cannot find information you are looking for you, could always email Kempshott Community Association at admin@kempshottcommunityassociation.org.uk or enquire of residents through the Kempshott Notice Board on facebook.

As a community, Kempshott is over 100 years old. Historically Kempshott was a small and (it has to be said) undistinguished manor in Domesday located next to Dummer , south of the Great South West Road (the A30). Kempshott as now recognised – north of the M3 – was on land called Basingstoke Down, the wild furzy common land used for grazing sheep and cattle of the citizens of Basingstoke Town, with just a scattering of farms and cottages dating from the 18th century.

Kempshott as a modern community developed from 1908 onwards, on what had been Old Down farmland. The full history of the community can be found on our history website – https://kempshotthistory.org.uk/
