The Coach House
The Coach House is located at Dummer at Kempshott Park adjacent to Dummer Golf Club in a rural setting. Situated at the end of a 800 m long driveway located immediately off Junction 7 of the M3 motorway.
The original Kempshott Estate, situated within the Hundred of Basingstoke, in the north of the County of Hampshire - also known historically as the County of Southampton - was some 6.4 km south-west of the town of Basingstoke. It incorporated the north-westerly adjoining Southwood Estate, thereby covering the parishes of Dean and Wootton St Lawrence in the north and Winslade in the south. The historic Manor of Kempshott, the legal administrative unit, is listed in the Domesday survey of 1086 as Ca[m]pessete. The Old English name was Cempan sceate meaning "warriors' corner". The changing vernacular included Kempeschete and Kempeschotte in the thirteenth century; Kembeshute and Kembeshete in the fourteenth century. The present name dates from the fifteenth century: Kempshote. Kempshott formed part of the possessions of the Norman baron, Hugh de Port in 1086, and was valued at thirty shillings. From Port-en Bessin, de Port had been a principal ally of William, Duke of Normandy, who, as King William I, had granted him Kempshott manor and 54 other manors in Hampshire - his chief manor being nearby Old Basing - together with the Sheriffdom of Hampshire. Hugh de Port is an ancestor of the Marquises of Winchester.
The Coach House is next to the Wayfarer's Walk which is a 114 km long distance footpath in England from Walbury Hill, Berkshire to Emsworth, Hampshire. The north-west end is at the car park on top of Walbury Hill, near to the landmark Combe Gibbet, and the south-east end is Emsworth town square.
The footpath approximates an ancient route that might have been used by drovers taking cattle for export. It passes through the towns of New Alresford, Droxford, Hambledon, Havant and Emsworth and the villages of North Oakley, Deane, Dummer, Brown Candover, Abbotstone, Cheriton, Hinton Ampner, Kilmeston, Soberton, and Denmead.
The footpath is waymarked by metal and plastic disks found attached to wooden and metal posts, trees and street furniture, and where this isn't possible stickers on lampposts etc. It has also spawned several circular routes that use sections of the main footpath. These are also waymarked. This route is shown as a series of green diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps and as a series of red diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps.
