Running alongside the River Piddle, Alton Pancras is a small village with its church dedicated to St. Pancras. Little features remain from the 15th century when the church was built however its organ has an interesting history, having been originally a fairground organ, and thus has a different tone from most church organs. There is also an unusual manor house at Alton. The five bay East front has the distinctive colour scheme of purple brick with red and yellow dressing.
