Beautiful little church on the edge of the preserved Roman town of Calleva. The church dates from the 12th century and was built on an earlier Pagan site using old Roman bricks. There is a Roman column in the cemetery.

Not so visible from The Street, which runs through the middle of Bramley, but definitely at the centre of many a local ride, whether down Cufaude Lane back to nearby Chineham, or Vyne Road, leading to the Vyne, a nearby National Trust property. Alternatively you can go to the Village Bakery, next to the railway station or a few miles further to the Coffee Shop at Sherfield on Loddon.

St Mary the Virgin at Silchester sits at the top of Church Lane, a quiet single track road. This can get a little messy when the weather has been wet, with mud & debris running into the road and in parts forming two 'tracks' through the mud. Just be aware. Likewise, if you do have the misfortune to meet a car (or tractor) there is little room for both. In the summer months, walkers are often encountered walking in the middle of the road seemingly oblivious to anything else. The roman wall around Calleva Atrebatum is very popular, especially as you can walk on it all the way round. That said, I find Church Lane, Wall Lane and Clappers Farm Road, all of which pretty much come together at the church, to be lovely quiet roads to ride on. I do enjoy the undulating nature of most of the lanes around here.

The Church of St James in Bramley, Hampshire, England was built in the Norman period and has been added to since. It is a Grade I listed building. The Norman church had a west tower added in 1636, replacing a previous wooden tower. Part of the nave was added by John Soane in 1802. [...] The famous physicist Lise Meitner is buried in the burial ground next to the church, near the grave of her brother Walter. Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James%27_Church,_Bramley
