About Englefield

Englefield, a Berkshire parish, carries the quiet dignity of the English countryside. It lies 8.8 km west of Reading (from Reading: bearing 263°T, OS grid SU 626 720), and is situated west-north-west of Theale village. The land around Englefield slopes gently, its chalky soil supporting a landscape of broad fields and ancient woodlands, where the quality of light can transform familiar hedgerows into something quite luminous in the late afternoon. Englefield House, a grand Jacobean manor, stands as a prominent landmark, its stately presence a reminder of the estate's long and storied past, a history that seems to whisper from the very stones of the old buildings. The village itself, with its modest cluster of houses and the parish church of St. Mark, possesses a tranquil character, a place where the passage of time feels less like a hurried march and more like a slow, deliberate unfolding. The surrounding countryside, often a patchwork of arable land and copses, offers a sense of enduring rural life, the distant hum of traffic a faint counterpoint to the rustle of leaves.
