Sir James Dean Almshouses consist of eight one-bedroom houses built in the 19th century and renovated in 2000. Facilities include non-resident management, emergency alarm service and garden. Basingstoke is mentioned in Domesday as Basingstoches and having a church and three mills. Today it is a thriving commercial and residential town with good communications north and south. The name derives from 'Basa's people's outlying farmstead' and for many years was not much larger than its neighbour Odiham or its close namesake, Basing. Basingstoke expanded with the coming of the canal in the late 18th century and then the railway but it wasn't until the 1950's that major development took place in a short space of time. The old town has some ancient buildings and Deane's almshouses in London Street are of 17th century origin and the ruined chapel of the Holy Ghost was built in the 13th century. Basing nearby retains its village character and passed into the hands of the Paulet family who demolished the old motte and bailey castle and built Basing House. This was later destroyed by Cromwell in a famous seige.
