River Whitewater viewed from the Deptford Bridge near Greywell.
The river rises at springs near Biddon Grange Farm and flows northeast until it joins the River Blackwater near Swallowfield. The headwaters flow over chalk giving the clear river it's name.

All Saints Church and The Pest House, Odiham

Highlight • Religious Site

All Saints Church is an Anglican church in the village of Odiham, Hampshire. It is situated near to Odiham's high street, 9.5 miles (15.2 km) away from Basingstoke. English Heritage has designated the church as a grade I listed building.

By the 11th century there was a church on this site, as recorded in the Domesday Book. The oldest visible parts of the present church are the chancel and the base of the tower, dating from the early 13th century. Between the chancel and tower, the nave has been altered and extended into side aisles, in two stages, and the upper parts of the tower completely rebuilt in the 17th century.

The present church has a nave with gabled aisles of similar height, which extend to flank the western tower. The chancel projects to the east, and is flanked with gabled chapels. The walls are of flint with some rubble included, with the later parts, including the upper stages of the tower, being red brick. The roof is of tiles.

The church underwent some internal renovation work a few years back, with some opposition from locals concerned about the potential impact on the historical and architectural perception of the church.
