The Town & Manor of Hungerford & Liberty of Sanden Fee, or the Town & Manor as it is called for short, is a charity that owns and looks after a substantial amount of land and property in and around Hungerford including the Town Hall,  Hungerford Common, Freeman’s Marsh and Hungerford Fishery. It also organises the annual Hocktide ceremony.

Here is a summary of what the Town & Manor is doing this month:

•  Sowing wild flowers to encourage biodiversity on Hungerford Common – read more here.

• The Town Hall, in whole or in part, is available for hire at very reasonable rates – click here to visit the newly-updated website.

• One of the Town & Manor’s main responsibilities is the conservation of the natural habitat it owns and manages – find out more about its work here.
