Set amid the homely scenery of hampshire in the valley of the River Wey lies the town of Alton. An historic and interesting town, the Alton district was inhabited even in prehistoric times and Roman Legions Marched the main road after crossing the Wey by the ford. King Edward II, in 1307, presented the town with a charter giving it the right to hold an annual fair and the market town prospered. Scene of a firce battle in the civil war between the Roundheads and Cavaliers in 1643 St. Lawrence church still bears the battle scars. In 1867 a Soliciters Clerk, Frederick Baker, brutally murdered Fanny Adams. Parts of her body were taken to a local public house and the expression, `Sweet FA` was born. Old houses abound in the narrow streets with Georgian buildings mingling harmoniously with later architectural styles. Surrounding villages are also of interest, especially Chawton where Jane Austin lived and Selbourne, long the home of the Glbert White the naturalist. With leisure facilities that include tennis courts, snooker table and a swimming pool your stay can be as relaxed or energetic as you wish. Proud of our reputation for warm and friendly service Alton House offers 40 en-suite bedrooms, each with colour TV (including satelitte channels), direct dial telephones and tea and coffee making facilities.
