East Garston, situated below the Downs in the Lambourn Valley, is a beautiful village of thatched and timber-framed, brick-infilled cottages. All Saints Church is outside the village, near Manor Farm. Built of flint and stone, it has Norman doorways and a Norman chapel on the east side.
There is a row of very attractive white-washed and black timbered cottages on the road leading to the church. Each cottage is approached by an individual bridge across the River Lambourn. As with the other villages in the Lambourn Valley, racehorses are often seen on their way to the Downs to be exercised.
Here are a selection of photographs of this beautiful part of rural England.
