Where to stay in Chineham
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
The A33 decides this one: Chineham sits north of it, and a room here means a car, a short drive down into Basingstoke, and a quiet night on the parish edge. Christ Church Chineham marks the middle. Anyone driving on towards Reading will value the road, while anyone who wants central Basingstoke on foot should stay nearer the town instead.

About Chineham
What are the main landmarks in Chineham?
Christ Church Chineham serves the parish. Everything else on the list is a house or a hall, Daneshill House, Sherfield Hall, Lower Mill House and the Old Toll House, which together account for almost all of what the record marks in the parish. None is ticketed.
The A33 runs past on its way between Basingstoke and Reading.
What is the history of Chineham?
Chineham's status is parochial. It appears in the record as a civil parish on the outskirts of Basingstoke rather than as a chartered town, and Hampshire's documents fix no founding year to the name itself. The buildings supply the dates instead.
Old Toll House, Lower Mill House and Sherfield Hall each carry a working past in their names, and Daneshill House stands with them.
