Hampstead Norreys is a small village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, set within the rolling chalk landscapes of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and crossed by the clear chalk stream River Pang. The compact settlement clusters around a green with some thatched cottages and a parish church of medieval origin, and its name recalls the Norreys family who once held the manor.
Life here remains distinctly rural - agriculture and small local enterprises predominate, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Newbury and Reading. Community life is centred on the village pub, school and hall, with regular fetes, walking and riding in the surrounding downland and active conservation efforts reflecting its attractive setting.
