Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Berkshire Archaeological Journal, Vol. 23: April, 1917
Of the history of the Parishes I shall attempt to say very little. As might be expected, the great Abbey of Abingdon appears from early times to have acquired large vested interests in this part of the County, and no doubt various distinguished individuals have been connected with the several parishes and manors, and this informa' tion will, I trust, be compiled by the editors of the Victoria County History, when that important work may be completed for the benefit of the public.
