Inkpen

High above the scenic village stands the lonely landmark of Combe Gibbet, originally erected in 1676 for the double hanging that took place there.

South-east of Hungerford and amongst the highest downland slopes of the District, Inkpen has quite a number of features of interest.

Most notable are the church and rectory which stand together on a steep knoll, the former of the 13th century but interestingly restored in 1896 and the latter dating from 1695. The church retains a fine roof of local oak whilst the bell tower is supported on equally massive beams. There are several Early English windows but most charming is the little Gothic south window with its glass of the Arts-and-Crafts movement.

The rectory is quite a fine example of a Queen Anne house with its gardens originally designed by La Notre, the French gardener who laid out the grounds at Versailles.

Inkpen school was another of Street's designs - built in 1850, with tile hung gables and a general feel of domesticity to its architecture.

Two other houses of note are the 18th century West Court. House and Kirby House which dates from 1733 and has an elegant flourish to its pedimented front.
