Welcome to Hermitage

The village sits on the B4009, five miles north-east of Newbury in the heart of the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and was once the home of the author D H Lawrence.

Village Hall Funding - Referendum
The Parish Council have voted to hold a referendum on whether the residents of Hermitage are willing to support the hall by means of a small increase in Council Tax. A grant of £250,000 repaid over 25 years at a fixed interest rate will add £18 per year to a Band D property. This grant will attract match funding from Greenham Common, and with a small amount of additional funding from other grants will allow the whole hall to be built.

Grundon Proposed Incinerator.
At a meeting on Tuesday 31st January 2012, Hermitage Parish Council voted unanimously to object to the proposed Grundon Incinerator.
