Not to be confused with Basing House (see Image) which is a great deal older, but listed in its own right http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-138951-old-basing-house-old-basing-and-lychpit , this classical-fronted building is on The Street opposite Image

Old Basing: The Bolton Arms
This timber framed public house is a Grade II Listed Building dating from the 16th century. Since Neil took Image in 2007 the large coat of arms and the large nameplate on this facade have evidently been removed. The view of this fine old building is somewhat marred by the proliferation of modern day overhead cabling, not to mention the Audi TT.

The 'Bolton Arms', Old Basing, Hampshire.
The Old Basing area was a hotbed of conflict during the Civil War period, and many buildings now have names such as 'Cavalier Cottage' or 'Cromwell Cottage' associated with those times. But the Bolton Arms was there even before the civil war, and, had Oliver Cromwell been a drinking man, which by all accounts he wasn't, he might well have stepped into this pub for a pint. Certainly the beer is excellent in 2007.
