More about this scene

The village's name comes from 'weargebuman', a Saxon word meaning 'white water' or 'felon stream'. The village, with its church of St Andrew, retains many old thatched brick and half-timbered cottages, along with a village shop. Southwards, between the River Whitewater and the North Downs, the land rises to 700 ft, one of the highest points in Hampshire. The countryside is unspoilt.
