There are some notable buildings in Burnt Hill including the Methodist Chapel 1864 which is still in use, Burnt Hill House, Burnt Hill Cottage, Wistaria Cottage (now very much extended), Sloe Pightle (pightle a small field or enclosure presumably where sloes grew) and Nut & Bolt House formerly the Axe and Compass Public House (a.k.a. The Compasses Inn). The Axe and Compass changed its name to the Nut & Bolt Public House in the 1970s (reputedly after the licensees of the time; John and Val Bolton ) According to the West Berkshire Campaign for Real Ale when the Boltons were asked why they changed the name they said, Because we are the Bolts and all our customers are nuts! It is now called Nut & Bolt House, a private house.
