Shalden is a small village, reached by pleasant footpaths across the fields from Alton three miles away to the South East. Its old Saxon church has gone and the present one dates from the nineteenth century, built of flint with Bath stone dressing in the Early English style. It also possesses a fifteenth century font of considerable merit.

Acquired notoriety in 1867 due to its association with the death of 'Sweet' Fanny Adams, murdered by Frederick Baker.

Further information on attractions to discover in the area and other interesting villages to visit is available. For information on public services for Shalden please take a look at the Alton local pages.
