What is "faccombe"

Faccombe is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England. The village lies on the Hampshire- Berkshire border and is situated on the North Downs. Its nearest Hampshire town is Andover, approximately away although Newbury in Berkshire is closer.

The village was originally called "Faccombe Upstrete" in medieval times to distinguish it from Netherton, Hampshire, a village lower in the valley.

The village formerly had a single pub, The Jack Russell Inn, which served walkers and locals but this is currently closed.
